Yazmine MB – DONE MY TIME [Single + Video]

Yazmine MB’s single “DONE MY TIME” from her album HEALER serves up a bold departure from the dating grind. Yazmine takes a well-worn theme of being “done with dating” and transforms it with jazzy and dramatic flair, featuring a lively brass section and cool-stepping dancers.

The beat is a cocktail of nostalgia and newness, putting live instruments and a jazzy groove to work in a way that flows from easygoing to energetic. The jazz-funk soaked bassline rides snugly with the crisp pocketed drums.  Soft electric piano chords and an elegant violin add a gentle touch, while the horn section kicks in with an invigorating, feel-good energy, echoing Nai Palm and Hiatus Kaiyote type vibes. Yaz’s voice is balanced and confident and pours out with such victorious spirit – and you feel every single bit of it.

In the video, we come up on our young soul singer in a dimly lit room, standing confidently at a mic, her bright red top adorned with intricate gold designs gleaming under the spotlight. Beside her, a violinist plays softly, adding to the intimate aura of it all. At the chorus, the scene shifts to Yazmine – now decked out in Blue Brothers-styled wears –  performing lively dance moves outside a open-air market entrance with a pair of similarly dressed dancers. Their synchronized steps, complete with walking canes and fedoras, brings a theatrical splash to the night time setting of the video. We continue to bounce between these two scenarios for the rest of the video before everything wraps up with our leading lady and a mystery man strolling off into the night, arm in arm.

“DONE MY TIME” is a spirited, straightforward track that highlights Yazmine MB‘s savvy as a songwriter and performer. But the maturity and confidence in this piece are still a little surprising given her young age. This young woman’s imagination give her tunes an honest, lived-in vibe that .makes each song feel like a glimpse into a well-traveled soul.
