Jazzu should need no introduction. The multi-award winning Lithuanian singer-songwriter shared her profound single ‘Razor Blade’ on 18 October via the Creative Industries record label. The track marks the beginning of a brand new era for Jazzu, who has successfully maintained a 20 year career, a feat that many artists can only dream of.
In June, she performed to a concert arena of over 20 000 Lithuanian fans further cementing her remarkable impact and influence in her home country. In 2019 Jazzu was the recipient of Best Album, Best Music Video and Best Pop Artist at the M.A.M.A Music Awards, while she shares her wealth of knowledge with burgeoning artists as a judge on Lithuanian X-Factor.
‘Razor Blade’ is a testament to Jazzu’s personal strength and growth. The track is about an unhealthy relationship dynamic that begins lovingly but turns toxic, which results in emotional turmoil and heartbreak. ‘Razor Blade’ is about finding the strength to let go (no matter how tough it is), put yourself first and being brave enough to start over. Jazzu told us: “When I sing this song, it’s like a ceremony for me – I sing all my pain away, acknowledging that I’m strong enough to always choose me and keep my heart safe. I’ll never let anybody hurt it again.”

Jazzu teamed up with world-renowned producer Anthony Marshall (Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado) for the track. The single opens with a scintillating piano piece and Jazzu’s powerhouse vocals following soon after. The opening verse is charged with fervent emotion and creates profound momentum for the rest of the track. Once the beat drops, bold drums emerge creating a foreboding and commanding effect, while Jazzu’s voice and deft lyricism sway in tandem with the composition. The accompanying music video carries the passion and emotion of the track impeccably. It sees Jazzu in an empty apartment building, running through the passageways trying to find her way out, while simultaneously showing aerial shots of her in a maze also trying to find her way out. The poignant symbolism of the video reflects the seemingly never-ending loop of a dysfunctional relationship.
