"Jasmine" is a character on the universe of Bat For Lashes' fifth studio album, Lost Girls, as well on the script for Lost Girls. She is portrayed by unknown. A song with the same name was released on the album.

Background

When asked about how much was Natasha Khan’s perspective or her protagonist’s (Nikki Pink) on the songwriting for Lost Girls during her September 13, 2019 interview with Women In Pop, Khan explained this song in particular:

“Jasmine is a spoken word, film noir song about this girl that goes round killing men at night, burying their bodies at the bottom of a cemetery. Obviously that’s not me but there’s an aspect to it where I feel that way sometimes when I’m walking around at night, stalking.”

She is actually the main character in a script that Natasha wrote after just finishing a screenwriting course at UCLA.

Life

Jasmine has her own development within the fictional narrative of the album and the universe unlike the other girls that make up the Lost Girls gang.

She is described as captivating, reminiscent of the fragrant scent of jasmine during a summer night in Los Angeles. It is mentioned that she has a strange affinity for driving her car at night in search of her prey; she is a flamboyant serial killer who murders people and buries them in iconic places like the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Eucalyptus Hills. This feeling of hunting at night is something quite present during the construction of the album, as Natasha herself has mentioned spending nights driving as she tried to capture those dark and not so favorable aspects of the city.

Jasmine is an image that alludes to the feminine in a setting with a strong connotation of a sexual aspect. Her story is the result of all the serial killers, cults and everything that is considered weird, mystical and freak that lives in the night.

Physical appearance

Jasmine is introduced to the story as a beautiful young woman who can seduce whoever she wants, however, her personality is purely cold and murderous whoever stands in her way. Natasha only shared a couple of images on her Instagram.
