When it comes to love, leave it to your favorite artist to play the soundtrack for your life. If you’re smitten with someone, there’s a song for that; if you’re single and just want to have fun, surely there are endless hits to turn to; and most certainly, if you’re going through a breakup there are tons of ballads dedicated to bashing your ex as well.
Philadelphia native Jazmine Sullivan knows all about the ups and downs of relationships and laying it all out there through song. Her third album, ‘Reality Show,’ outlines the many facets of love through tracks like ‘Brand New’ and ‘Dumb.’

Do: Find Other Ways to Vent
“If you want to let any anger out, write a song about it or just write it out. Nobody is going to hear it, but getting it out lends itself to your own personal growth. Read it and take time out to make sure you learned all the lessons from the relationship you need to [in order to] move on.”

Don’t: Go Without Batteries
“It’s a must to always keep batteries for your vibrators, ladies. You know, so you don’t get that itch to go back.”
