| JAZ KARIS RELEASES NEW EP “TWENTY SOMETHING” SHARES FOCUS TRACK “STUCK IN SIXTEEN” SHE’S DONE WAITING FOR BOYS TO GROW UP ON NEW SINGLE “STUCK IN SIXTEEN”STREAM HERE!  |
| R&B artist Jaz Karis releases her new EP, Twenty Something, via MNRK Music Group. Arriving on her birthday, the six-track project marks a full-circle moment for the artist, returning to the soulful, emotionally honest sound that first introduced her to audiences worldwide. Alongside the EP, Jaz also unveils its focus track, “Stuck in Sixteen.” Featuring the previously released singles “Life Is Unfair” and “FAITH,” Twenty Something traces the emotional highs and lows of navigating adulthood, exploring love, heartbreak, shifting friendships, faith, and self-discovery. Rooted in live instrumentation, gospel influences, and Jaz’s signature storytelling, the EP captures the complexities of growing up while remaining grounded in the warmth and vulnerability that have become synonymous with her music.“Twenty Something is a full-circle moment. A return to the sound that introduced me: honest, soulful and rooted in live instrumentation and raw vocals. I unpack the reality of my twenties: love, heartbreak, friendship shifts and faith. Flaws and all.” — Jaz KarisThe project’s focus track, “Stuck in Sixteen,”showcases a more playful side of Jaz. Built around breezy production and sharp lyricism, the song revisits the frustrations of dealing with someone who refuses to grow up. In true form, Jaz linked back up with Aston Rudi, the producer behind her fan-favorite “Petty Lover,”to craft a track that is equal parts cheeky and cathartic.“This song is literally about a boy I was dating who I thought would just never grow up. Going back to my petty ways, I linked up with the producer of ‘Petty Lover’ (Aston Rudi), and we had a great old chinwag which eventually led to us creating this song. It’s pretty cheeky and fun… and petty (of course).” — Jaz KarisCLICK HERE TO STREAM “TWENTY SOMETHING”Twenty Something follows Jaz’s critically acclaimed debut album, Safe Flight, and last year’s EP, Loud in the Water.

Rated R&B praised Safe Flight as “a satisfying trip adorned with a perfect synthesis of genre-bending arrangements, poignant songwriting and stirring melodies,” while UPROXX called the album “a soaring and impressive debut.”CLASH noted that Jaz’s “warm, honeyed vocals and confessional songwriting” have positioned her among the artists elevating the UK’s homegrown R&B scene, while Wonderland hailed her as “one of the most impactful voices in the UK R&B space.” With Twenty Something, Jaz Karis enters a new chapter, embracing the lessons, setbacks, and growth that shaped her twenties while looking ahead with renewed confidence and clarity.“TWENTY SOMETHING” TRACKLIST 1.
