The Atlanta born and raised, Summer Walker is one of the hottest artists in r&b at this moment. Her debut album, "Over It" in 2019 first brought her international attention with the help of the singles, "Playing Games", "Stretch You Out", "Come Thru" and a remix of "Girls Need Love" that featured Drake. The album found it's way on several Best Albums of the Year critic's lists, won Best Album at the 2020 Soul Train Music Awards, was the most streamed album by a female artist on Apple Music and would go on to sell over two million copies in the U.S.
Now the twenty-five year old singer has released a direct follow-up, "Still Over It", another solid collection of contemporary soul with touches of '90's hip-hop and trap running through her sound. The focus of this record is the end of her relationship with London on da Track, an artist and producer on her debut which happened not long after giving birth to their daughter. Through each song, Walker makes it clear that she's not one to mess with and unwilling to put up with any nonsense. There is an impressive line-up of performers (which includes Cardi B, JT of City Girls, SZA, Ari Lennox, Pharrell Williams, Omarion, and Ciara) and producers who have contributed to the album. And most impressively, "Still Over It" debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 Album chart. Here are a few of my favorite tracks from the reigning queen of r&b, Summer Walker:
