PERSISTENCE by Radiant Jasmin

'PERSISTENCE' is Radiant Jasmin's 2nd album, which she started recording in 2016. It’s as if life wanted to put her to the test by saying “You want to title an album 'PERSISTENCE'? Let’s see how persistent you can really be!” So through several challenging situations and a worldwide pandemic, she HAS Persevered!

This album is about Peace, Love, and Happiness and is a collection of some of her old fan favorites that did not make it onto her 1st album and some more recent songs. Folks have been asking her at shows for years if she has certain songs on CD, now, she wants to Give the People What They Want! Some of these songs are: "Heal,", "No More Hatred," “Happy to Be Nappy”, along with the title track, "PERSISTENCE".

"You have to have courage, be brave, be strong, have faith, hope, perseverance and you can't go wrong!"

- Radiant Jasmin from the song,"PERSISTENCE"
