Jasmine.4.t has shared a new single called ‘I Can’t Believe I Did This Without You’. Listen below.
The song will feature on the deluxe edition of the Manchester singer-songwriter’s debut album ‘You Are The Morning’, which arrives this Friday (September 12) via Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Records.
It’ll appear alongside four more new tracks: ‘Please Can We Hold Each Other Yesterday’, ‘Find Ur Ppl’, ‘I Don’t Think Anyone Else Could Hold The Same Place In My Heart’ and ‘Did U No’.
“‘I Can’t Believe I Did This Without You’ and ‘I Don’t Think Anyone Else Could Hold The Same Place In My Heart’ are two new songs on this release that I wrote during the LA recording sessions for the album, up on the roof of Sound City Studio between takes,” explained Jasmine.4.t (real name Jasmine Cruickshank).
“I recorded five songs as demos and sent them as a thank you to my bandmates and producers after returning home to Manchester from LA. It’s nice to have more polished versions of these two.”
Cruickshank described ‘Please Can We Hold Each Other Yesterday’ as “a more recent ode to lost time with loved ones”. She added: “I demoed this track on my phone and Steph Marziano (the awesome producer of these new tracks) liked it so much, as it was, that she suggested we didn’t re-record it and release it as is.”
‘Find Ur Ppl’ is about meeting political prisoner Yulia Trot (aka YBT) – who “this deluxe version of my record is dedicated to”.
“I met Yulia at the first queer event I ever attended,” Cruickshank said. “It was six months after I had come out, and I was still living in Bristol but staying with friends in Manchester.”
She added: “‘Find Ur Ppl’ is a song about meeting Yulia and the Manchester community, which feels vitally important given how many young trans people are in danger, isolated and in need of the safe haven of queer camaraderie.”
‘Did U No’, meanwhile, is YBT’s “favourite”. Jasmine.4.t recalled: “I visited Yulia in prison during the recording session for this track, and I remember crying, screaming, and channelling my rage at the state into the vocals when I returned to the studio that evening.
“We had planned to record “Did U No” for the album originally, as it was also a favourite of Phoebe’s, but sadly we ran out of time in LA. It is such a joy, now, to be able to finally get it down.”
She continued: “I love how these tracks have turned out, with the help of Steph and the incredible band line-up that I have been playing live with this summer – Phoenix Rousiamanis on violin and keys, Maeve Westall on drums, and Emily Abbott on bass.
“Now when I sing these songs, I am singing them to my best friend, my mother, my sister, my daughter – the political prisoner Yulia Trot. Of all the things that I have lived through, nothing has felt as big as losing her. I hope that one day she will be able to hear these recordings. I hope that one day she, all of her co-defendants, and all of Palestine, will be free.”

The original version of ‘You Are The Morning’ was produced by Bridgers and her Boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker.
Yulia Trot previously toured with Jasmine.4.t as a roadie/security. “One evening in November 2024, while we were recording a live session for 6 Music, we heard news that Yulia had been arrested that day in a violent raid on her home,” Cruickshank remembered.
“She is one of the Filton 24, arrestees alleged to be connected with a group of actionists entering the UK headquarters of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit systems in August 2024, where £1million worth of damage was said to be caused. This included killer Israeli drones that have been reported to target Palestinian children in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.”
She went on: “Our beloved Yulia was initially arrested under terrorism law in a gross misuse of legislation that allowed heavy-handed police powers. She was then charged with the non-terror offences of burglary and trespass, but transferred as a political prisoner to a maximum security private prison on the other side of the country, away from her family and friends, where she will be held on remand for a total of two years until her trial.”
Jasmine.4.t is calling on fans to support Trot’s friends and family with visit costs. You can read more at freeyulia.com and follow @freethefilton24 on Instagram.
Speaking to NME earlier this year, Cruickshank said: “What more could you want as a queer musician? To be signed to Saddest Factory is a dream come true.
“Phoebe has fought my corner and has gotten me so many opportunities. It comes from a place of friendship but also a place of solidarity. I feel like those guys really get how shit is for trans women, especially in this country. I think they are kind of unsung heroes.”
Since releasing her debut album, Jasmine.4.t has supported Lucy Dacus and made appearances at festivals such as Green Man, Reading & Leeds and End Of The Road.
She’ll soon embark on a run of headline shows in North America, Europe, Australia and the UK. See the full list of UK/Ireland dates below, and find any remaining tickets here.

In a review of Jasmine.4.t’s Reading 2025 slot, NME said it was “the latest in a long line of completely deserved highlights” for the artist. The round-up also praised the “searing, joyous and moving set that did everything from encouraging community and care, to reminding us to use our voices against the injustices in the world”.
