Editors’ Notes 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. That’s true even when she’s drawing inspiration from the equally emotive trap&B of her sometime duet partner Drake, the cerebral rhymes and adventurous soundscapes of Tyler, the Creator and NxWorries, or the mellifluous and empowered neo-soul expressions of Alicia Keys, Floetry, and other forerunners.
