By combining moody, emotive R&B ballads with an unpredictable and often more playful sensibility, Summer Walker has fast developed an alluring sound that feels all her own. Though her latest release Still Over It features some of her most personal music to date, her influences can offer insights about how she’s become one of the pre-eminent voices of her generation. For the album, she drew inspiration from some legendary ladies including Aaliyah, Tamia, Sade and Erykah Badu as well as ’90s mainstays like Blackstreet and Shai.
