Jazmine Sullivan And HER Wallow In Heartbreak In Their Tender Single ‘Girl Like Me’
Sullivan shares a final single ahead of her upcoming LP ‘Heaux Tales.’ …
It’s been over five years since Jazmine Sullivan released her last record, Reality Show, but the singer aims to start off the new year with a new album. Offering a final preview of her forthcoming project Heaux Tales, Sullivan tapped guitar virtuoso HER to lend her delicate vocals for the heartbreak anthem “Girl Like Me.”
HER picks at her watery acoustic guitar while Sullivan sings of feeling defeated after being left for another woman on the tender single. Her heartache translates to insecurity over her body and she considers making some changes to her appearance. Echoing Sullivan’s sentiments, HER sings about changing up her style to disconnect from her past relationship. “Yeah, you gon’ make me a gold digger / Maybe I should look like a stripper / Wearin’ Fashion Nova dresses / All these dudes be so pressed and impressed with it,” she sings.
While “Girl Like Me” may be the last single before the release of Sullivan’s Heaux Tales Friday, the singer had spent the closing months of 2020 teasing the project. Along with saying the LP is her “observation of today’s women standing in their power and owning who they are” in a press statement, Sullivan shared the tracks “Lost One” and “Pick Up Your Feelings” to build anticipation for the album’s release.
Listen to Jazmine Sullivan and HER’s “Girl Like Me” above.
Heaux Tales is out 1/8 via RCA. Pre-order it here.

OB1 seeks longing with new afrobeats anthem “Miss You”
The new single “Miss You” by rising Afrobeats star OB1 brings him back into the spotlight. The song’s steady, soulful beat evokes strong emotions. OB1 is renowned for his exceptional performances and for seamlessly blending fast beats with personal stories. He is now embarking on a new phase of his life, one that is characterized by openness, growth, and honesty.
The first note of “Miss You” sounds like a soft confession whispered over beautiful drums. OB1 is honest about how he feels and thinks about a love that once seemed strong but has since slipped away from him. His voice, which is full of emotion, echoes the pain of being apart and the strange silence that comes with someone being gone. It’s an emotional journey filled with longing, memories, and a desire to make things right.
“Miss You,” produced by NAYA Music, an independent, Black-owned label that supports emerging Afrobeats and Afro-fusion artists, showcases how much OB1 has grown as an artist. The production is professional yet still personal, so every lyric and beat holds meaning. You see him grow, not just as a musician, but also as a storyteller who isn’t afraid to let people into his life.
OB1’s song has a sound that hits you in the chest as well as your ears, and it mixes modern Afrobeats rhythms with moving melodies. This release makes it abundantly clear that OB1 is also shaping the memories, moments, and feelings that we all share. “Miss You” might be his best work yet.
