Jazmine Sullivan Gave A Cathartic Performance Of Her Lovelorn Anthem ‘Girl Like Me’ On ‘Fallon’

The singer shared a stripped-down version of her HER-featuring song. …

Though we hadn’t heard much from Jazmine Sullivan since her 2015 LP Reality Show, she’s recently been making the rounds now that she has released her vulnerable new project Heaux Tales. Last week, Sullivan appeared on NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series to showcase a medley of her music, including her HER-featuring single “Girl Like Me.” Sullivan returned in front of the camera Tuesday night, this time without HER, to give a rendition of “Girl Like Me” for late-night television.

Performing a stripped-down version of the song, Sullivan took The Tonight Show stage to deliver “Girl Like Me” with her octave-climbing vocals. Editing the track into a clean version fit for television, Sullivan details the insecure feeling that’s unavoidable after being left for another woman.

“Girl Like Me” was the last single Sullivan released before debuting Heaux Tales, and it’s radically honest nature sets the tone for Sullivan’s project as a whole. Describing the effort as an “observation of today’s women standing in their power and owning who they are,” Sullivan lays out modern-day dating dilemmas through 14 soulful tracks.

Watch Sullivan perform “Girl Like Me” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon above and revisit our review of Heaux Tales here.

Heaux Tales is out now via RCA. Get it here.

Album Review

Kamila Csenge explores the unknown with a powerful debut album “Behind the Universe”

Kamila Csenge

Some albums tell stories, while some invite you to experience a different worldview. And that is precisely what Kamila Csenge does on her debut album, “Behind the Universe.” A collection of 7 crafted tracks exploring what lies beyond fear, pain, and the limitations we so often put on ourselves. The album is an invitation to curiosity and reflection and growth, not to easy answers.

The journey begins with a reflective jazz fusion ballad, “The Void,” opening space for silence outside of simple ideas of right and wrong. Next track, “Against the Wall,” moves from there, with a stark look at the courage to overcome obstacles and make a difference. Then, “Music Forever” goes on with a sincere reflection about being true to yourself in a world that asks for attention and speed.

The emotional and imaginative range of the second half of the album goes even further. “Guardians of the Garden” is a peculiar universe, a universe of hope and light in the darkness. Next up is “The Metamorphosis,” which explores the silent yet powerful evolution of a human being, as growth usually begins with the loss of our former selves.

“This World” turns inside to the quiet wars many people fight each day with honesty and compassion. The album ends with “The Point of No Return,” a perfect song to end the album, accepting that the only way to go is just to go. Kamila Csenge’s debut album “Behind the Universe” is a record that prizes emotion, imagination, and resilience and is at once deeply personal and open to infinite interpretation.

Artist Spotlight

Kai Moa delivers an electronic journey of loss and identity with “L = ∅”

Kai Moa

One of the few electronic releases to communicate emotional collapse so intensely is “L = ∅” by Kai Moa. The track is a dramatic shift in weight and atmosphere, the second single from the artist’s forthcoming debut EP, which will be out by August 2026. 

The production of “L = ∅” has a nice balance of mechanical force and emotional tension. The song is about the emotional fallout of losing a job and the meaning it held. Instead of a straightforward representation of grief, Kai Moa takes on the mindset of a character who is sliding into nihilism, rejecting ideas of work, security, relationships, and meaning itself. This is an artist who can take personal disappointment and make it into a meditation on identity.

“L = ∅” is an immersive listening experience that defies expectations. Kai Moa has a real talent for blending cinematic storytelling with a bold sound design. This release feels like it could make its way into the ears of underground electronic fans and those searching for substance in their music. Kai Moa is an artist who isn’t scared to jump headfirst into uncomfortable ideas with fearless production and ambitious creative vision, and the first track leads into the debut EP.
