Album Review: Jasmine Thompson Builds A Wonderland

Summer is coming. Heck, IT IS HERE. And with that a bunch of rising new artists release singles and album in hopes that can define what is unarguably the best season of the year. While not everybody like the sun, in the summer, music doubles its power as a universal definer of fun. Enter Jasmine Thompson, and her new EP, Wonderland, to give you a shimmer of sunny synths and lyrics on “Old Friends”.

In this world, being featured on Grey’s Anatomy is a big deal, one of the biggest, most prominent shows to reveal the power of a tv soundtrack. “Old Friends” has became a hit because of its sincerity. Thompson has a way of radiating a youthful honesty that pushes us all to question, “When did we start lying to ourselves so much?”. Aiming her lyricism for taking off facades, rather than putting them on, Thompson has a sweet regality to her. Vocally, she emanates sensibility and sensitivity by  singing her words on self-search and good times with a wistfully, higher tone. It is as if she is whistling through songs “Wanna Know Love” and “Somebody’s Someone” with a candid but caring desire. Ms. Thompson wants to be young and in love, and I do not blame her. Yet, behind all the sweet longing for youthful love are, again, summer beats that add electricity to her love quest. “Wonderland” and “Words” are destined to be blasted on radios for their ability to make you want to call those you love and receive love from them, as well. With smooth, sparkling instrumentals and breezed, heartfelt words Click Here to Buy Wonderland And Learn More About Jasmine Thompson.
