  • Jazmine Sullivan stayed relatively quiet since she dropped her third album, 'Reality Show,' in 2015, but her new EP, 'Heaux Tales,' proves it was worth the wait. The conceptual project isn’t delivered through Sullivan’s vocals and songwriting alone. It’s punctuated by six spoken-word interludes from women detailing their inner-most thoughts on relationships, love, and sex. For the latest episode of 'For The Record,' Sullivan sat down with Genius' VP of Content Strategy Rob Markman to discuss the critically acclaimed project, why the interludes were such an important part of the EP, and how she reacted when she first heard Ari Lennox’s provocative lyrics for “On It.”

    On It is my favorite song! I wake up with that tune in my head. Throughout the day, in the car, before bed I need to hear it. I just can’t get the tune out my head. My husband says it’s an outlet that’s needed for women who’s not into “city girls ratchet” but enjoy to get down too just more into soulful r&b.

    It's hard for me to pick a true fav. I've listened to "bodies "at least 50 times now, vibed to "on it" ( probably the fav right now if I am forced to pick), twerked to "put it down". The album is so relatable to the everyday woman. It either applies to you personally at different stages in your life or someone you know. This was a Masterpiece. If you see this Ms. Sullivan, Thank You for the experience, for putting the feelings to words and keep up the good work. ❤❤❤
