Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

 The latest album from Jazmine Sullivan is pretty good even if it is a step down from her 3rd masterpiece, Reality Show. The album has a lot of skits from women.They tell tales, hence the album's title. Some are pretty funny, some are sad. "Pick Up Your Feelings" is a terrific song. Jazmine really does well on mid tempo songs. She sing raps on "Put It Down" and damn its really catchy. The production on the album is good but nothing amazing. The only real guests on the songs on the album are Anderson .Paak , Ari Lennox, and H.E.R.. Overall we have a short album but hey its great still. IMO Jazmine is one of the best R&B artists of our time. Lyrics 24 Beats 21 Depth 23 Tilt 23 Verdict 91

Vocal Ability:  The artist’s ability to sing. (pretty self explanatory) Albums:  The artist catalogue strength. How many albums and how good are they? Collaboration:  The artist collaboration ability on other artist’s songs; can be a fellow RnB artist or Rapper’s song. Versatility:  The artist’s ability to make different kinds of songs.

Commercial Success:  How many albums did they sell during their careers. Bracket A 1)Beyonce’ vs. 16)Keri Hilson:  The Queen B Beyonce goes up against Miss Keri baby. An upset is not expected here. There’s some hostility in this matchup as well should be lit. Vocal Ability-  So I honestly feel this is closer than you think. But I gotta give Beyonce’ the edge here. 6-4 Albums-  This is where its unfortunately for Keri, not close at all. Keri has 2 ...

Jazmine Sullivan is an artist with an edge. She makes elite music, and this is no different. The first song, Dumb, features Meek Mill. Other than that there are no guest features. They aren’t really needed. The production is nice, but I didn’t really feel it was as good as the lyrics or her sultry vocals.  I may have thought Jaz had fallen off but you can’t fall off when your albums are all so highly regarded. The verdict, 9.5/10...its a hot album.
