Jaz Vernon eases into his next chapter with “Pink Suede,” a smooth 2 minute, 52 second cut that finds the Queens artist balancing the warmth of classic R&B with the attitude of hip hop and rap. Released on September 18, 2026, the track is the third single from his upcoming sophomore project, giving listeners another glimpse into the sound he has been shaping for what comes next.
There is an effortless quality to “Pink Suede.” Contemporary R&B sits at its center, while retro soul, alternative pop and US rap influences add different shades without taking away from the song’s relaxed character. Jaz keeps his delivery personal and fluid, letting the production create space for his vocals rather than overwhelming them.

That musical instinct has been developing since his early years in Far Rockaway, Queens. Jaz began with piano before expanding his musicianship to trumpet and drums, experiences that continue to inform his approach to rhythm and melody. His work with longtime in-house producer Gamal, dating back to 2015, has also helped establish a creative process that feels distinctly his own.
Listeners who discovered Jaz through his 2019 appearance on Hot 97 DJ Saige’s “Hit My Line” have already seen flashes of that direction. Since then, he has continued refining a style that brings gospel touches into his vocals while keeping one foot firmly in contemporary R&B.
“Pink Suede” feels like a record made for late nights, quiet drives and moments when the mood matters as much as the message. It does not need to shout to hold attention. Instead, Jaz Vernon lets the groove, the vocal texture and the soulful details do the talking.
With his sophomore project approaching, “Pink Suede” makes a convincing case for keeping Jaz Vernon on the R&B radar.
