ahead of upcoming third album release
Two-time ARIA nominated singer/songwriter, Jasmine Rae, has released her first
single and video today, ‘If I Want To’,
from her upcoming third album of the same title due out on August 2, 2013.
The song was written by Jasmine and Nashville songwriting legend, Bob DiPiero, who has also penned hits for innumerable superstars, including Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, Faith Hill and Etta James.
“It’s a song
about taking the power back from someone in a relationship who has hurt you,” says
Jasmine. “When a relationship ends,
there’s often one person who wants to move on and one who wants to hang on.
I’ve been both.”
US producer Luke Wooten, whose credits include
Dierks Bentley’s’ Home’ and Kellie
Pickler’s ‘100 Proof’, produced the
track in Nashville. The song shows a
more soulful vocal from Jasmine, combined with her signature country sound and
an unmistakable element of blues.
Jasmine admits it has been a while since she
released new music. “I feel the songs on my new album are a reflection of the journey I've been
on in the last two years. This album is an honest conversation between the
listener and myself.”
“This isn’t just
the album I wanted to make,” she continues. “It’s the only album I could have made. I personally needed to
do this.”
‘If I Want To’ is available now on
iTunes through ABC/Universal Music and the music video,
directed by Jefferton James, is available to watch here:
“Making the
video was a really interesting experience,” says Jasmine. “It was such a unique concept - showing the
last day of a relationship in reverse, starting with my boyfriend walking out
on me, back through us fighting, and ending with us in a past moment when we
were still happy and content”.
Jasmine Rae is
one of Australia’s most acclaimed, multi-faceted, country artists. Her two
studio albums, ‘Look it Up’ and ‘Listen Here’, have both received
ARIA nominations and yielded multiple #1 hit singles and videos, including a
duet with US star, Joe Nichols. She has toured with international superstars
Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn, and in 2012, was voted CMC Oz Artist of the Year
by tens of thousands of music fans. This year, she was awarded America’s
prestigious CMA Global Artist Award.
Jasmine has also been at the forefront of fan-driven social media in Australian country music. She recently joined elite stars, Kasey Chambers, Lee Kernaghan and John Williamson, as one of the only Australian-based country artist with over a million plays on YouTube.
