Jazmine Sullivan "I'm NoT a RoBoT" by BOOMTUNES
I'm obsessed with everything to do with this song! I love it as a pop jam, obviously, it's perfection. And lyrically it's THE song for THIS generation, but add that to the leaky backstory and it's just so f'ing 2011 I can't even handle it.
Backstory courtesy of metallungies:
Jazmine Sullivan wrote on Twitter, “i’m making an official announcement that i am taking a break from music. i’m trying to figure out who i am… w/out a mike, paper or pen. i promised myself when it wasn’t fun anymore i wouldn’t do it. and here i am..” But then she quickly deleted the tweets.
The good news is Salaam Remi leaked this unreleased/new song to cheer her up. Jazmine just needed to be reminded that she’s not a robot and she has one of the best producers around in her corner.
@SaLaAMReMi i love u for this. thanks for reminding me. i couldna said it better myself;)Mon Jan 03 19:03:02 via web

How great is that? Some people say it's a publicity stunt and oh how wonderful would that be, how the hell does an act like J. Sull get traction in a Ke$ha world? Stunt it out girl.
And the fact that all of this is playing out on twitter and soundcloud makes her the ultimate 2011 Robot. Love.
I guess my current obsession with this track intersects with a thought I had this weekend. BH and I were hanging with some new people at a bar and I had this thought... 'wow, it's actually fun to be socially analog, face to actual face.' Isn't that sad? It was like nostaglia, a memory of a simplier time, it just felt so easy and immediate. We are all completely robots now and when each of us has our own QR Code, forget it, it's done. I embrace it wholeheartedly of course, and I think that is the real point of this track mixed with a story about quitting the biz then deleting that thought, there is no quitting at this point.

The track is good but her other songs are better. I love how talented she is.

Love the song, love the post, love it all. (And I might steal "socially analog" for work.)

First off, this is a pretty brilliant track. However, I saw her open for Maxwell in support of her first album, and she was horrible. Not just off, but BAD. It was so bad that I don't think I could give her another chance, and hearing a track with her voice produced within an inch of its life sadly doesn't help. There are other R&B singers out there to support for me to keep coming back to see if she pulled it together. Melanie Fiona is THIS close to blowing up, and I'm along for that ride to the end.
