Catchy and enjoyable, “Crystal Heart” does not quit. Thompson continues chugging along with tracks like “Crystal Heart” and the climactic “Great Escape.” On “Crystal Heart,” Thompson most closely resembles a mainstream artist driven by the Billboard. Like fellow niche artist Vérité, Thompson can easily be seen crossing between small venues and sold out stadiums. Backed by synths, “Adore” is 80s glam-meets alt-pop gold. Tracks like the lead single, “Adore” perfectly exemplify this. With great alternative inflections adding a sense of individuality, Thompson is able to work among multiple dimensions and genres. Coming at a time when the London-based artist has been met with success on the charts, the release of her first larger collection of originals, condensed onto one EP, “Adore,” Thompson finally showcases the potential she holds.ĭriven and pop-oriented, each track off the EP is as good as the one before it. With well over a million YouTube subscribers and hundreds of millions of views, Thompson seems unstoppable. Stripped-down and emotive, the tranquility presented through Thompson’s signature voice is both airy and drawing. When Thompson released her debut LP, “Bundle Of Tantrums,” and it’s follow up “Another Bundle Of Tantrums,” critics and fans raved over the beautifully simplistic performances of Thompson’s covers. As a cover artist, Thompson achieved international recognition for her renditions of tracks like Passenger’s “Let Her Go” and Sia’s “Titanium.” At the young age of 14, the content of her music should feel far beyond her years, but for the viral singer-songwriter, her early beginnings should only be met with continued success. For Jasmine Thompson, this is certainly true.

For years, YouTube has proven to be a successful outlet providing the opportunity for some to break through into the music industry.
