Sullivan has certainly come a long way since her first record was released back in 2008.
1 on the Billboard/Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart.
However, Jive ended up dropping the singer despite her success.
“That was a big blow.
They didn’t know what to do with me.
I was young and I didn’t know what to do with my own self.
Later, Sullivan took a three-year break from the music industry entirely.
I promised myself when it wasn’t fun anymore I wouldn’t do it.”
But in this moment.
She toldBillboardin January 2021 that the time away was very needed.
“As far as length of time, it’s not really intentional.
I’ll just chill for a second and then a little break turns into a longer break.
But as long as it turns out to be, I do feel breaks are necessary.
Taking breaks when you’re younger, it feels different than when you’re older.
For one thing, getting yourself back into the swing of things is different, both physically and vocally.
I’m starting to understand that now.”
Now, Sullivan is ready for a full-scale comeback, andHeaux Talesis the vehicle that can do it.
She toldVulturein January 2021 all about her unique writing process.
“I’m like a Disney kid.
When I was growing up, my mom was a playwright.
When I write, I see it almost in pictures, like a full production.
I went home and brainstormed, andHeaux Talescame up.
I thought about the conversations I have with my girlfriends, my mom, different people like that.”
