South London songstress Jaz Karis presents her Favourites compilation, 15 songs that best represent her past, present and future self spanning across R&B, Reggae, Afrobeats and muc h more. With a love for all things nostalgic, Jaz looks forward to presenting her music in vinyl form for her dedicated fanbase of music lovers.The 25-year-old singer grew up in church choirs and performing was within her from as young as 7 years old when she began playing the piano and singing for anyone who would listen. Jaz’s music is healing, it’s a comfort blanket during a breakup or a friend when you are feeling in need. She is bursting with softness and packed with divine strength, her lyrics are intimate but relate to the masses, and she's a voice that will stand the test of time.Filled with her stand-out singles and songs from her EPs; 'Into The Wilderness', ‘Summer Stories’, ‘All Eyes On You’ and her upcoming EP, ‘Dear Jaz’, the double-sided vinyl takes us on a journey through her life to date. ‘Summer Stories’ is still on heavy rotation with P2J producing many of the songs on the EP, an in-demand beatmaker who has also worked with likes of Beyoncé, Wizkid, Stormzy, FKA Twigs, Burna Boy, Tems and Doja Cat over the years. Jaz’s infamous single ‘Petty Lover’ – performed on the prestigious Colors - features on the project and is an unrivalled fan favourite that embodies R&B in its purest form. As well her Juls produced single ‘Let Me Down’, ‘Favourites’ also includes guest appearances from Tinyman on ‘Want’, Blue Lab Beats on ‘You Do’ and Afronaut Zu and Sillkey on ‘Sunrise’. Appearing on her new ‘Dear Jaz’ EP, a more recent release includes ‘Home’, a song that perfectly reflects the artist she is today. Show more
