There's power in reclamation, and Jazmine Sullivan leans into every bit of it on Heaux Tales. The project, her fourth overall and first in six years, takes the content and casual candour of a group chat and unpacks them across songs and narrative, laying waste to the patriarchal good girl/bad girl dichotomy in the process. It's as much about “hoes” as it is the people who both benefit from and are harmed by the notion. Pleasure takes centre stage from the very beginning; “Bodies” captures the inner monologue of the moments immediately after a drunken hook-up with—well, does it really matter? The who is irrelevant to the why, as Sullivan searches her mirror for accountability. “I keep on piling on bodies on bodies on bodies, yeah, you getting sloppy, girl, I gotta stop getting fucked up.”
