Hidden Gems 8-22-23




On August 11th, 2023, the project "Miss Me Yet?" by Jastin Martin was unveiled to the world. This release showcases a blend of lively melodies and emotionally raw ballads. Hailing from Houston, Jastin Martin has been an active artist since the late 2010s, also exhibiting her skills as a guitarist. Her journey commenced with independently produced singles and EPs like "XVIII" in 2019, followed by "Growing Pains" in 2021, prior to her signing with the renowned label, Def Jam. If you find yourself drawn to the musical ambiance of Jhene Aiko, coupled with the lyrical finesse of Kehlani and Summer Walker, Jastin Martin's vibes are guaranteed to resonate with you. Personally, I've developed a fondness for tracks like "Up" and "S.O.M.S" (an abbreviation for "Still Owe Me Something") from her latest album. The lyrics hit close to home for me, creating quite an emotional connection.


ONCE IN YOUR LIFE (feat. Cashma) - Shamba "Lemme Bless You with something specialllll!" as the lyrics go, but no kidding, let me genuinely accomplish just that. I stumbled upon Shamba through her tweet nestled beneath another influencer's post. Curiosity piqued, I decided to explore this project, and it's been a continual blessing ever since. The album, titled "Just Go With It," harbors a gem that holds my utmost affection — "Can We." This lively track narrates a tale of a woman upfront about her emotions for a man who's weathered the storms of life. She takes the lead, illustrating how he can love her in the way she truly understands. It's a scenario that resonates with countless women, embodying a sentiment we've all undoubtedly undergone. Shamba's calming vocal tone strikes a harmonious chord with me, yet it's her lyrical artistry that profoundly entrances me; she's reminiscent of my personal diary. "Once in Your Life" feels like a declaration, a gentle prompt of a woman's unparalleled love.
