Words From VASSY
When asked about the LP, VASSY had the following to say:
“Supreme showcases my eclectic range. I started in music as a jazz singer, then evolved into an indie pop artist who eventually transitioned to the dance world, crowned as Queen of EDM. I love making dance records, but Supreme gave me a chance to incorporate those earlier sounds into a framework that’s more authentic to my origins.“
She continues:
“I missed the freedom in the studio to be more versatile and create songs with no pressure to fit a certain format. I love having the ability to go from quirky indie pop records to jazzy, soulful Afro beat / Latin inspired tunes … It’s fun expressing my voice through various genres and styles of music. I find it invigorating. I just wanted to get back to my roots to remind myself where I started musically and how that translated to where I am now in my career.”
A Star Reaffirmed

This album is a declaration of her enduring talent and a reminder of her unique ability to connect with listeners across the globe.
