JAZ KARIS DROPS EUPHORIC SINGLE "SUNSET BLVD" AHEAD OF DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE

Jaz Karis has unveiled her new single "SUNSET BLVD," a romantic and euphoric track from her forthcoming debut album SAFE FLIGHT, due on September 20th. Produced by Needlz, the song reflects a journey of self-discovery and emotional growth, mirroring the album's themes.

South London’s R&B sensation Jaz Karis is heating up the music scene with her latest single, “SUNSET BLVD.” This track, her fourth release of the year, offers a tantalising preview of her highly anticipated debut album SAFE FLIGHT, set to drop on September 20th. With its lush production and heartfelt lyrics, “SUNSET BLVD” is poised to be a standout in Karis's burgeoning discography.

Produced by the renowned Needlz - whose credits include Cardi B, Bruno Mars, and Drake - “SUNSET BLVD” captures a serene yet exhilarating vibe, evoking feelings of euphoria and bliss. Karis described the track as embodying the experience of “driving down Sunset Boulevard with the love of your life,” a sentiment that resonates deeply in the chorus: “nobody knows me like my baby does, and I’m riding till the wheels fall off.” The song's romantic and reflective tone perfectly mirrors the album’s overarching themes of self-discovery and emotional growth.

SAFE FLIGHT is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a narrative of Karis's personal and professional journey. The album title reflects the well-wishes she receives from family as she embarks on her international endeavours, whether it's recording in LA, filming music videos in Barbados, partying in Ghana, or returning to her London roots. SAFE FLIGHT promises to showcase Karis as a mature artist, embracing new possibilities while reflecting on past experiences. It’s an exploration of vulnerability, acceptance, and the confidence gained through personal growth.

As she gears up for the release of SAFE FLIGHT, Jaz Karis is set to further establish herself as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary R&B.
