H.E.R. Essentials

H.E.R. Essentials

H.E.R.'s moniker feels like an enigma, and that sense of mystery is no accident; the Vallejo, California-born singer wants you to focus not on her persona, but on her voice, in all its subtle power. Since her 2016 debut at the age of 19, the prodigious R&B talent has forged a lane in the soft space between quiet-storm calm and post-Weeknd melancholy, crafting vulnerable ballads that feel wise beyond her years. She channels her best Sade on the wistful post-breakup jam “Carried Away.” But the mood gets sweeter on “Best Part,” a dreamy collaboration with the equally mellow Daniel Caesar that luxuriates in real love.
