Heaux Tales is an EP by American R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan. Released by RCA Records on January 8, 2021, it was her first project since 2015's critically-acclaimed Reality Show .

Contents

The project has also been variably identified as a "concept album" [5] and "schematic, a successor to didactic concept albums like The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill ". [6] Structurally, six "spoken word interludes" [5] "are followed by songs that flesh them out as character studies". The themes explored include feminism, sexuality, classism, and body-shaming among other lyrical topics supported by narrative interludes between each song. [6] The project received widespread critical acclaim and was also a commercial success, debuting at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, marking Sullivan's highest position on the chart.

Heaux Tales won the Album of the Year award at the 2021 BET Awards and the 2021 Soul Train Music Awards; [7] [8] it was named Album of the Year by NPR , Entertainment Weekly, LA Times and Pitchfork . The EP won Best R&B Album at the 64th Grammy Awards, and its single "Pick Up Your Feelings" was nominated for both Best R&B Song and won for Best R&B Performance. The project was further promoted by the Heaux Tales Tour in 2022, Sullivan's third US headlining tour. [9] Sullivan released the deluxe edition of the project, titled Heaux Tales, Mo' Tales: The Deluxe, on February 11, 2022. [10]

Sullivan cited artists Cardi B and Lizzo as women that inspired Heaux Tales.

Since establishing her recording career in 2008, Sullivan has been known to take long hiatuses between releases. [11] [12] [13] [14] According to Revolt , Sullivan explained the inspiration behind the project in a video: [11]

"Heaux Tales is about my observation of today's women standing in their power and owning who they are — No longer is male patriarchy dictating what it means to be a 'good girl.' The truth is, women of all ages have been called a 'heaux' at some point in life, whether deserved or not, by some man trying to put us in our place; a place designed to keep us under control, out of the way and usually beneath them. [...] We all have a journey to make and it's our choice alone how we get there."

Complex magazine reports that Dev Hynes, Key Wane, DZL, and others contributed to the production on the project. [15] The promotional rollout for Heaux Tales included the premiere of her installment of NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts series on January 8, 2021. [13] Sullivan stated in an interview with NPR Music, "particularly on this project, I was influenced by a few women today that I felt like were busting through those barriers and helping me to feel more confident in who I am," citing artists Cardi B and Lizzo. [16]

Singles

The first single, an acoustic ballad titled "Lost One", was released August 28, 2020 and peaked at number 9 on Billboard's US Hot R&B Songs. [17] [18] The second single was "Pick Up Your Feelings", released November 20, 2020. [19] In place of a traditional music video, RCA Records released a live acoustic performance. [11] The song has since reached number 1 on Billboard's Adult R&B Airplay Chart and number 9 on the R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart. [20] The song also peaked at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100. [20] Both singles were performed on BET during the Soul Train Music Awards on November 29, 2020. [21] Sullivan released her third single, "Girl like Me", featuring H.E.R., on January 6, 2021, marking the first time she has ever duetted with a woman on one of her own recordings. [14] The song debuted and peaked at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 29 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. [20] "On It," duet with Ari Lennox, also peaked at number 40 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop and R&B/Hip-Hop airplay charts despite not being released as a single. [20]

[14] Alex Suskind of Entertainment Weekly called the project "a punchy concept album that tackles blissful romance, sexual freedom — and the complex moments that arise between." [30] Bobby Carter of NPR hailed it "a bold and timely conversation piece addressing truths regarding relationships, sex, social norms, self-worth and a myriad of other topics that women grapple with." [13] Wongo Okon of Uproxx praised it for casting "a light on the goalpost-shifting standards of this patriarchal society" while holding "the characteristics to be labeled a classic in the future." [31] Mankaprr Conteh of Pitchfork gave the EP the site's Best New Music distinction. [27]
