Jazmine Sullivan isn’t quite finished with her work as a narrator in the world of Heaux Tales. On Feb. 11, the R&B songstress will share Heaux Tales, Mo’ Tales: The Deluxe, featuring additional tracks and musical narratives she didn’t have a chance to tackle on the original.
The extended edition is available just over a full year later Heaux TalesHer first album in six years was released to great critical acclaim. The Grammy-nominated project saw Sullivan giving a platform for the stories of often-underrepresented and spoken over women, especially Black women, through the lense of love and loss.
“It’s important to have different representations of Black women,” Sullivan told Rolling Stone last October. “It’s important to have a body-positive Lizzo or a quirky SZA and Ari [Lennox], or me. We have shared Black-girl similarities, but there are major differences that need to be shown and celebrated. This project was about sharing some of those stories so that y’all could see us in all of our glory, see us for who we are.”
