Jazmine Sullivanhas spent a large part of her career known for a certain pop in of song.
But fans knew Sullivan could channel that passion elsewhere (see: Love You Long Time).
We are multi-faceted and shouldnt be defined by any one thing.
By closing track Girl Like Me, she steps back to reflect.
No hope for a girl like me, she sings.
And I aint wanna be / But you gon make a hoe out of me.
But Girl Like Me ends up being a stronger indictment than Bust Your Windows ever was.
By the bridge, her voice reachesits trademark fever pitch.
Cause yall n- - - -s be takin us there, she sings.
Cause you dont want us no more / It breaks us to the core.
Fittingly, Girl Like Me is the first time Sullivan hasdueted with a womanon one of her own songs.
Girl Like Me wears the chill, indie-rock-influenced style popularized by singers like H.E.R.
and SZA well, while other songs on the record flirt with futuristic electronics.
Thats exciting, but still secondary to the most exciting thing aboutHeaux Tales: hearing Sullivan sing again.
