Jazmine Sullivan Talks ‘Heaux Tales’ & Ari Lennox’s “On It” Lyrics | For The Record

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.”
