## Background and development

On 4th January 2022 Jazmin posted a snippet of "Smylex" on their twitter with the caption "NEWMUSIC 🐝⚔️". This snippet was later posted on Instagram and Spotify.

In an interview with American magazine Alternative Press Jazmin confirmed that their debut album would be released around late 2022-mid 2023.

Jazmin was seen heading to a recording studio [*Abbey Road Studios*] in London, UK with Salvia on 14th January 2022. A day after Jazmin was seen heading to Abbey Road Studios, their producer Jessica Winter said to MTV Global that Jazmin was recording a lot of music, and that the first single would be out by the end of the year, or earlier.

On 25th January 2022 during Jazmin's interview on *The Graham Norton Show* they revealed that the new album would be in the middle of the rock-pop spectrum with some songs being more rock influenced and other songs being more pop influenced.

In regards to the concept of the album, Jazmin stated that the album was about a fictional planet titled *Saccharinic*, which is divided into multiple factions. Each faction represents a song from the album. Jazmin stated that the factions also represented emotions such as erratic, happy, melancholy, etc.

Jazmin's manager Donny Tourette revealed in an interview with *KIIS-FM* that Jazmin's new album would have two songs featuring another artist, and that their new release would be significantly different music-wise from her previous work.

On 31st January 2022, Jazmin posted on twitter that they had just finished writing 3 songs from their debut album and might post a snippet of the lead single of the new album sometime soon:
