Chapters (Deluxe)

The indie darling transitions to R&B with spectacular results on Chapters. Early in her career, the Malaysian singer/songwriter made a splash with diary-like songs about identity and growth. This album finds her locked in an R&B groove, with guests like Usher (“Crush”) and Jhené Aiko (“Used to Love You”). Yuna's warm voice is a comforting vessel on slow jams like “Mannequin” and “Lanes.” The deluxe version of Chapters includes “Places to Go,” her collaboration with DJ Premier.
