Soulful singer-songwriter Jazzu shares a searing single ‘Razor Blade’

Timeless artist Jazzu unveiled her new single ‘Razor Blade’ on 18 October 2024, via the Creative Industries imprint. Over the course of her profound two decade career, Jazzu has amassed over 50 million streams across platforms, received an MTV Award and won Best Album, Best Music Video and Best Pop Artist at the M.A.M.A Music Awards in 2019. Additionally, she has graced stages with Grammy Award-winning Swedish band Koop, and notably opened for Rita Ora earlier this year in Lithuania. Jazzu has been featured in major Lithuanian publications 15min, Delfi, Lrytas and Eastern European publication The Baltic Times. In her native Lithuania, Jazzu is considered a timeless icon. She has been touring her Welcome concert annually since 2019. She has been a judge on Lithuanian X-Factor for many years. For the making of ‘Razor Blade’, she has collaborated with the esteemed London-based producer Anthony Marshall (Britney Spears, Sheila Fergusson (3 Degrees), Nelly Furtado). This fruitful partnership will see more songs emerging over the coming months. Jazzu is influenced by the likes of Moloko, Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston with her distinct Pop and R&B soundscape sure to be enjoyed by fans of soulful pop icons such as Adele, Amy Winehouse and Tyla.

‘Razor Blade’ opens as a poignant ballad, showcasing Jazzu’s impressive vocal range and emotional depth. As foreboding drums and cinematic orchestral swells intensify, the song builds to a passionate climax, supported by epic choral backing vocals. It then fades into a quiet, brooding outro, gently guiding the listener out of the powerful experience.

Jazzu shares: “When I sing this song, it’s like a ceremony for me – I sing all my pain away, acknowledging that I’m strong enough to always choose me and keep my heart safe. I’ll never let anybody hurt it again.”

The music video reflects the confusion, pain and anger of heartbreak and betrayal brilliantly. In it, Jazzu is seen trying to find her way out of an empty apartment building which is contrasted by shots of her in a maze also trying to find her way out. The symbolism mirrors feelings of loss, and not knowing how to start over after experiencing an emotionally turbulent end to a relationship.
