"Don't I Deserve to be Privileged?" - A Thread for Jazmine Sullivan

it might've been mine too! i stood around backstage for like two hours waiting to get a picture with her. i never do that with artists!

somehow "lost one" has grown on me even more since "pick up your feelings" came out

that trailer is a little too Dove advert "everyone is beautiful" but at the same time I think if anyone can pull off the nuance and finesse required to make something more complicated and worthwhile it's Sullivan

excited for this.

heaux tales, beau tales, Holiday Inn!

yeah I actually don't want to celebrate any CEOs but I am still stoked for this

it's an album and it's out friday

news and track both wonderful

man six years exactly she released my album of that year

Reality Show has such an awesome opening one-two

that ass
make a man leave hoooome

v nice track

my npr-listening mom informed me this would be coming out soon lol :)

It's an EP:

Just a reminder that this is in fact an EP/PROJECT! Everyone calling it an album is giving me anxiety and high blood pressure.😩 Ok...Toodles. Back to the whypipo whypipoin and getting away w it🙄

anyway, it's fine I guess, the best songs on it are the previously released ones :|

weird i must’ve misinterpreted the number of songs

well, every other track is a spoken word interlude

that’ll do it

seems like it’s a Robyn Body Talk sitch where she’ll release multiple parts throughout the year and it’ll form an album when it’s all said and done

jazmine I'm sorry but I removed all the interludes without listening to them, it's nothing personal

you wanna listen to Heaux Tales without hearing about the heaux tales

I like hearing Ari Lennox on this.

tinydesk performance!

after three spins, Bodies /Pricetags / Girl Like Me join Pick Up Your Feelings / Lost One as particularly noteworthy. It's definitely an EP and I have high hopes more is coming. All the subtext is on the surface here, it's hella dark.

I think Pick Up Your Feelings is gonna be in my top ten for last year.

I was so excited to hear this when I woke up today and then I heard it

Basically there are a few great songs on this including what was previously released (per what Murgatroid said), will definitely be returning to some tracks

I was definitely expecting a bit more from this. The Other Side is absolutely gorgeous but it's the only song here that's on the same level as Pick Up Your Feelings.

as a "part one" with more to come, i'm totally satisfied.

perfectly good EP/project

I hope the follow-up is called Meaux Tales

heaux tales, beau tales, Holiday Inn!

And she’s been writing Heaux Tales, her first concept album.

This is a good piece of work I likely will never listen to again

in other unlikely headline news:

this is a great record, no idea why someone wouldn't wanna listen to it again lmao

agreed; it rules

It's sound, solid.

who's eric church some country dude

I don't think even jazmine can save the Worst Song Ever

like jazmine, eric church is an alum of the ilm 77

he is a good artist despite the occasional self-consciousness of his rock rebel shtick

i finally (!) listened to heaux tales and it's honestly really good, confused by the not-even-lukewarm response here

the lex interviewing her. I can only imagine how happy he was to do this!

great piece

Yep, especially for regarding songwriting as something more than autobiographical plumbing

new single "Tragic" comes out tomorrow!

it sounds great

aw yeah

love it, hopefully a full-length album is on the way

I like this one.

Sounds like a flip of xscape who can I run to

Or Jones girls I guess originally
