‘Heaux Tales’, already hailed as the Grammy-nominated 33-year-old’s best efforts till the date packs a solid punch as a follow up to her 2015 album, ‘Reality Show’ and this vocal-heavy album stands as an iconic venture of the new Neo-soul and R&B era, fans have noted. 

Sullivan who debuted with her solo album ‘Fearless’ in 2008 has been serving legendary hit tracks right from her debut album including ‘Need You Bad’, ‘Bust Your Windows’, and ‘Lions, Tigers & Bears’.

Prior to the release of ‘Heaux Tales’, the ‘Bust Your Windows’ crooner talked about the album stating, “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.”
