Album Notes & Community Reviews

Solidifying her status as a global R&B powerhouse, the vocalist's sophomore album effortlessly blends classic 1970s soul influences with sharp, contemporary hip-hop production. Her virtuosic piano playing remains central to the arrangements, anchoring lush, emotionally resonant anthems of romance and self-empowerment.
