's music program that Jaffe connected with as well as other musicians in the community that she began playing with on a regular basis. In 2008, Jaffe self-released a six-song EP called '' Even Born Again.'' The record has been described as singer-songwriter gothic-folk, and features Jaffe on guitar accompanied by a cellist as well as another guitarist. ''Even Born Again'' featured the first release of her song, "Clementine," which is one of Jaffe's most well-known songs and was featured on NPR's Song of the Day. Jaffe said that she wrote the song quickly during a tour with a band she was playing with in Arkansas. The song, which she wrote in 10 minutes, was meant as filler because the band didn't have enough songs. Jaffe said the audience had an immediate positive reaction to the song. In late 2009, she was signed to Kirtland Records (

's Jenny Kirtland. In May 2010, Jaffe released her first full-length album '' Suburban Nature,'' which was recorded in December 2008. The record feature layers of vocals and incorporates ambient music, with live performances often including a cello, a violin and/or violinists (sometimes a quartet), an additional guitar, a string section, keyboards, and a drummer, a big departure from Jaffe's initial EP, which was more stripped down sounding. The song "Clementine" appears on ''Suburban Nature,'' and a video of the song, which was shot in the summer in Texas, was made by Jon Todd Collins. In 2011, she released an EP called '' The Way Sound Leaves a Room'' that included a DVD video performance at the Wyly Theatre in Dallas from February 2011. This record included a cover of

." Jaffe said the EP started with the song, "A Sucker For Your Marketing," and was meant to be a lo-fi quick project to explore music beyond her initial acoustic work. She bought a second-hand bass guitar and drum set and learned how to play them, using the new instruments to explore this new musical direction. On April 21, 2012, she released her second full-length album called '' The Body Wins'', which was produced by fellow Texan

. When writing the record, Jaffe heavily incorporated the bass guitar and drum set she had bought for the prior EP, using the instruments to add rhythm, drums, and melodies, which fit with Congleton's approach to producing. ''The Body Wins'' continues a movement away from Jaffe's early acoustic guitar singer-songwriter sound and expansion into electropop tunes. As part of the promotion of the record, Jaffe performed "Talk", a single from that album, on '' Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' on December 11, 2012. In 2012, Jaffe met fellow North Texas-based producer Symbolyc One also known as S1 ( Beyoncé,

) during a session where the music producer collective The Cannabinoids was remixing Jaffe's “Glorified High,” a track from her 2012 record, '' The Body Wins.'' S1 and Jaffe ended up forming a group called The Dividends. The name came from the idea of distribution of profits. The Dividends project resulted in an EP called ''Far From Away.'' Jaffe has said that she was a big hip hop music fan, but her music up until the collaboration with S1 had not explored beyond Americana and indie pop yet. The work with The Dividends removed the concept of genre and incorporated a diverse mixture of R&B, jazz, electronica, rock, and pop. Jaffe said helped her move past writer's block and into more creative genre-busting directions. This collaboration with the South Dallas-based S1 led to Jaffe contributing vocals and lyrics to Eminem's song "
