Jazmine Sullivan will release a new single 'DREAM BIG' on March 30th on Columbia Records/J Records in the UK. The track which samples Daft Punk's 'Veridis Quo' was produced by Missy Elliot and features on 'FEARLESS', her forthcoming debut album which will be released in the UK in June 2009.

FEARLESS is already taking the US by storm where it was nominated for 5 Grammy awards. It debuted at No. 1; beating out Ne-Yo for the top spot on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart & at No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and has already sold 300,000 copies in the US.

The US chart-topping debut of FEARLESS is further indication that Jazmine’s signature style is long overdue. “It’s been a long time since a debut artist has brought as much drama” cites USA Today’s review; while People’s Critic’s Choice review declares that FEARLESS is the “African-American answer to Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black.” Sparking the high chart entry is Sullivan’s debut single “Need U Bad” which reached the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts and made her the first female in almost four years – and only the 8th this decade - to achieve this feat. Jazmine is currently touring the US with Ne-Yo and will hit the UK for live shows later this year.

Dream Big is set to light up dancefloors across the country and is an amazing introduction to one of the most talented new artists to emerge stateside for many years.
