‘Bel-Air’s’ Jabari Releases the Mesmerizing ‘Makeup Sex’
From His Breathtaking Debut EP “ULTRA.”
Jabari Banks has released the new single and visual, “Makeup Sex” from his debut EP “ULTRA.”
The song and accompanying visual, take us back to a pleasant place in R&B.
One we haven’t seen too often in awhile.
From the vocals, arrangement and hook, “Makeup Sex” is a smash!
The Bel-Air star debuts his silky rap & R&B combo skills on “ULTRA.”
Following the buzz-building singles “Something Else” and “Weekend Drive,” which together generated over 2 million streams and more than half a million video views, Jabari released the eight-track body of work that expands on his foundation of downbeat R&B while embracing a steamier, more sultry side.
The result is a daring debut that positions him as one of Hollywood’s most multifaceted heartthrobs, seamlessly merging his charisma on-screen with his artistry in the studio.
His on-screen background informs the storytelling of “ULTRA,” which plays like a short film written by a hopeless romantic navigating love, temptation, and self-discovery.
From the cinematic opening “Lobby” to the emotionally vulnerable “Makeup Sex” and the playful “what if” narrative of “In My Head,” the project takes listeners on an exhilarating ride through the complexities of passion and growth.
It builds toward Ultra, its namesake centerpiece, before closing with Amen, where his grandmother’s prayer roots the project in gratitude and faith.
“ULTRA feels like unlocking a time capsule of the last four years,” Jabari stated about the release. “It carries the highs and lows, the lessons, and the love that shaped me, and it’s my way of showing the world that music has always been at the center of my story. More than anything, I hope it speaks to anyone navigating their own journey of dreams and growth.”
The PG County, Maryland native has captivated Hollywood with his breakout role as Will on “Bel-Air,” earning nominations from both the BET Awards and NAACP Awards.
With the show’s fourth and final season premiering on November 24th on Peacock, Jabari marks this transition by stepping confidently into music, a passion that has guided him since his teenage years.
With “ULTRA,” he proves he is more than a breakout TV star — he is a multi-hyphenate creative force ready to define his own lane in R&B.
