H.E.R. Back of My Mind (Review)
H.E.R.’s full display of talent was shown on her third studio album ‘Back of My Mind’…
I will be completely honest, I was worried when I first heard the album. The first couple songs outside of ‘Damage’ and ‘We Made It’ did not hit the way H.E.R’s music normally does. I will blame the label for making H.E.R. do a song with Lil Baby, that is not the duo the streets really needed.
Now that the one thing I did not like about the album is out of the way, when I tell you the project is INCREDIBLE, it is INCREDIBLE!
Before the album even released I said ‘Damage’ is the best song to release in the past year. If R&B got the love it deserved it would have been number one on the Billboard Charts, at least the single went platinum.
‘Closer to me’ is my favorite song outside of the singles (‘My Own’, ‘We Made It’, ‘Damage’, & ‘Come Through’ ft. Chris Brown'). ‘Closer to me’ features a sample from Goapele’s hit song Closer, which was famously remixed by Drake called Closer to my Dreams.
Honestly, I do not want to list every song but every single song after ‘Closer to Me’ to even her old single ‘Slide’, which was probably added for streaming purposes, is an ABSOLUTE hit! She gave us everything from songs that could be played at a club, to songs that could be played at a cookout, to songs that could be played at a wedding, to even the classic rainy day R&B music that she has always given us.
H.E.R is amazing.
H.E.R solidified herself as the top voice in R&B currently! Make sure you tune in!
