Imagine a cross between Jazmine Sullivan, H.E.R. and JoJo growing up on the island of Malta, playing piano at 8 years old and singing songs by Prince, Whitney Houston and Stevie Wonder.
That’s JustEL.
The small island in the Mediterranean sea might seem like an unlikely place to find one of the most exciting new soul discoveries, but at just 16 years old JustEL is already creating huge amounts of industry buzz
JustEL has already released 2 singles and garnered high praise from her heroes and luminaries including the likes of H.E.R and Pink Sweats and has started TikTok trends that have caught the eye of Jazmine Sullivan.
The maturity of her voice and writing is beginning to capture the ear of many industry insiders.
She played her first London show to a packed out venue at Colours, Hoxton in February this year and her seasoned performance at such a young age captivated everyone in attendance.
JustEL draws influence primarily from R&B music, both traditional and contemporary, and her sound reflects exactly that.
She is a multi-instrumentalist who writes her own music and crafts her own sound by bringing together the feeling of an old soul who is performing in the modern era.
Her stunning vocals are the cherry on top of the cake.
‘Broken Record’ builds upon her previous releases in exploring the sounds and style of R&B music.
The track shines with the smooth and soulful vocals of JustEL alongside a gentle and mellow R&B melody.
The song is about a one way relationship, where JustEL was experiencing herself being put second and not given attention unless the first choice was unavailable.
JustEL writes from a place of deep personal experience with a level of maturity far beyond her years.
She has an ability to be vulnerable yet self empowered at the same time. ‘Broken Record’ is an incredibly catchy song with a truly impressive vocal performance and stellar production that perfectly encapsulates who JustEL is as an artist.
JustEL continues to build her sound and style, with many more records lined up for release in 2022.
No doubt she will continue to capture the attention of music lovers as her star continues to ascend.
