Jaz Karis – Safe Flight [YELLOW VINYL]

Description

Jaz Karis is getting ready to take off. The 26-year-old south London singer and songwriter has been making waves with her silky voice and lyrical, candid pen since her first EP back in 2017, building herself up steadily over the years. 2024 will see the long-awaited arrival of Jaz Karis’ debut album, Safe Flight, out in September.

It’s a record about her journey so far, with her many trips back and forth between home and LA, figuring herself out in these new places. The imagery all pertains to identity and travel – IDs, lanyards, videos shot on nostalgia-tinged film footage, all highlighting the path that Jaz Karis is on. Even the features and collaborations spotlight a global outlook, with appearances from the likes of Mahalia, Juls, Reekado Banks, June Freedom, Tone Stith and more. Accordingly, the record also spans a breadth of sonics: slinky Afrobeats, gleaming R&B, warm gospel, shimmering flecks of pop, hip-hop, jazz and amapiano, all woven through with the glowing thread of Jaz’s signature soulful feeling.
