Jzzy Releases Pop-Punk Debut EP ‘Scribbles’

After releasing her flavorful single “After Effects” last year, Indo-American pop artist Jasmine Mohammed aka Jzzy moved from Ajmer to Los Angeles. “I didn’t know a single soul in L.A. before moving here, so having to figure everything out on my own was quite overwhelming especially when you are coming from another country,” says the artist.

Jzzy eventually became acquainted with producer Nick Kauffman. The pair began working on new music together and Jzzy eventually released a new single called “HELMET” earlier this year. After working on more music with Kauffman, Jzzy decided on putting out a four-track EP entitled Scribbles. She says, “I decided to release a few of them [the new songs] as a mixtape, or EP, rather than individually because it feels more like little samples of what’s to come. It’s like scribbles in my notebook but in the form of music.” Jzzy adds, “Scribbles aren’t perfect, they’re messy and with those messy moments, that’s when my brain works.”

Scribbles opens with the rocking “FOMO” (Fear of Missing Out) which is about a recurring theme Jzzy has had in her personal life. On the soft ballad “Reminisce Me” Jzzy sings about first relationships and their memories. Next is the dark pop offering “I’ll Start With Your Name First” which according to Jzzy is a “song born from the idea of little red riding hood and how as a kid I always wanted to think of ways to defeat the big bad wolf.” However, she adds, “Then as we were making the song I just became more in tune with feminine rage.” The EP then closes with the previously released pop single “HELMET.” Talking about the track, Jzzy says, “It’s just me pretending to be a rich confident girl who can have anything and everything she wants and an opportunity to use my favorite quote of all time by Blair Waldorf, ‘Life’s tough, get a helmet!’” 

With this record, Jzzy offers plenty both lyrically and sonically. She says, “I myself am not a straightforward person and you’re getting a little taste of all the parts of me in this collection.”

Jzzy is currently lining up a few shows in Los Angeles and will also be coming back to India to shoot a music video too. “Scribbles is a little teaser of what I am capable of and I feel like this is just the beginning of a crazy journey. I can’t wait to see how I will evolve and where this is going to take me,” she says.
