Jazmine Sullivan "Dream Big" Video

Earlier this year I posted on a Solange track that used music from a Boards of Canada track (the gorgeous and somewhat obscure "Slow This Bird Down"). I liked the way that top 40 artists were looking into experimental electronica acts for inspiration, and not even those groups' most popular tracks. It's happened again on Jazmine Sullivan's "Dream Big," which is sung over a bed of Daft Punk's "Veridis Quo," one of my favorite tracks off their album Discovery. This track was produced by Missy Elliott and it's interesting the way her influence comes through.

I've been telling everybody who'll listen about Jazmine Sullivan. Her album is no joke. Find it.
