Rising R&B/Soul artist Jasmine Kiara is set to impress listeners once again with her highly anticipated EP, Love Wasn’t Meant for Me, dropping on November 15, 2024. This 7-track concept project weaves a narrative that explores the complexities and emotional turbulence of a toxic relationship, showcasing Jasmine’s ability to translate personal experiences into universally relatable art. From the highs of “Home” which captures the blissful honeymoon stage of love, to the heart-wrenching reality of “Uncommitted” where Jasmine expresses frustration over a relationship that feels one-sided, listeners will find themselves immersed in a deeply relatable experience.

“U on U” is a slow but inviting taste of soul that keeps you tied and hooked throughout the song. Reminiscing on heavy influences and tasting what Summer Walker brings to American audiences, AUDRÉ brings to Toronto. Her smooth voice, paired with a mellowed-out beat, reminds you that heartbreak doesn’t need to be extreme or violent; it can also be beautiful. It’s new to me, but I constantly revisit it after hearing it for the very first time. AUDRÉ’s sound has been able to captivate me and keep me hooked onto her sound with one song. This introduced me to the genre of soul that I have been heavily missing out on but will no longer be able to ignore.

Jasmine Kiara Rowe Samadhdin recently travelled from her home in Toronto, Canada, to visit Guyana for the first time to explore her Guyanese roots. Her first impression of the country is quite interesting, noting our rich culture, hospitality and people in oneness. Her father is Guyanese and is from Agricola, while her mother is of East Indian descent, a Jamaican who lived in England and then relocated to Canada.
