H.E.R. who? H.E.R. is an R&B singer who wants to keep her identity a secret. She just wants it to be strictly about the music. Ironically, H.E.R. stands for "Having Everything Revealed." Does this mean she'll reveal her identity soon? Then again, most of her songs express hardships in relationships. There have been speculations that H.E.R.'s true identity is Gabi Wilson. Gabi Wilson hasn't confirmed to be H.E.R. and Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 covers are blacked out figures.
Pictured above is Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 is the same but with a yellow-orange backdrop. You might be wondering how people speculating H.E.R. to be Gabi Wilson. H.E.R released a cover of Drake's "Jungle" (which is amazing by the way) in 2016 but that same cover was released by Gabi Wilson in 2015. Is your mind blown?! If so many people have put this together then why does Gabi not reveal her identity? She has only done phone interviews and when performing, she doesn't dress extravagantly. She recently went on tour with Bryson Tiller and Metro Boomin' but I'm not sure what her stage set-up was like. Could anyone see her face?
Her stage presence really fascinates me because I'm actually going to see her in concert next month! I was so shocked when H.E.R. announced she was going on her own tour. I have been waiting for this ever since I heard Vol.1! I was upset I couldn't go to the Set It Out tour when she was a opening act for Bryson Tiller because I'm a Bryson Tiller fan as well but the venue was too far for me. This concert is my chance to finally see H.E.R. live. She is so talented! The concert is general admission so I'm going to make sure I'm in the very front. I need to know who is behind this beautiful music!
I'd like to give a special thanks to Spotify who immediately notified me of the tour and gave me a presale code. I don't know if my friends and I could have gotten tickets without the presale code! Forever grateful for Spotify looking out for me especially when it comes to upcoming concerts.
Perhaps you want to know what the mysterious H.E.R. sounds like. I believe the very first song I ever heard by H.E.R. was "Losing" and after that I knew I had to hear more.
Her voice is so calming. I wish I had discovered her so much sooner. Every song of hers tells some kind of story and hits you right in the feels!
And to conclude, here's another song recommendation.
Here's a gem from Vol. 2. I love how her music fuses modern and 90s R&B together. She often samples 90s/ early 2000s R&B choruses and slows them down. For instance, in "Avenue" she samples "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child. I love 90s/early 2000's R&B so this makes me love H.E.R. even more.
