New Music Report: Emerging Artist of the Week - Jasmine Thompson

Jasmine Thompson

We need to talk about Jasmine Thompson, because she is absolutely someone you NEED to be listening to. At just 16 years old, her voice is quite impressive -- as you can clearly hear on her just-released EP called Wonderland.

Wonderland features 8 songs, including one remix from producer/DJ Jonas Blue, and the songs range from pop/dance anthems ("Words"/"Someone's Somebody"), to heartfelt piano ballads ("Old Friends"). In a recent interview with iHeartRadio, Jasmine says of her new EP, "Wonderland's like my little baby."

The London-born singer/songwriter explains that the entire EP is very coming of age, and for her, very age appropriate since she is just 16 years old. "The whole EP is about just finding yourself and growing up."

In fact, the intro to to Wonderland is the title track, and Jasmine tells us of the song: 

"It's all about me and my friends. If you listen to the lyrics, it's all about how we, as teenagers growing up in such a massive city [London], it's such an overload of information. And we just wanna spend all our time traveling, and we bond with everyone that we meet. There's something really innocent about being lost in the world. So, 'Wonderland' is basically just about me and my friends just running around London."

You may already be familiar with Jasmine's voice via a remix of her Chaka Kahn cover of "Ain't Nobody" from producer/DJ Felix Jaehn -- she was only 14 years old at the time. Now, looking towards the future, if Wonderland is any indication on what's to come from the singer, it sounds like we can't wait to hear what she does next.
