Felt mysterious album cover allows you to focus on the music. If you search Her up you won't find a lot about her. This album is a great start to getting out there. Can't wait to see what else she has in store.

Her lyric capability focuses on relationships and you know I'm a sucker for love and heartache songs. Love is something that is missing off the airways. We need more of the romance from R&B right now. Too much heartache and not enough excitement for love itself. Her lyrics are very straight forward, you can't miss what she's saying. Her writing reminds me of a diary; basically just the raw content of her story without analogies and metaphors. I'm one to say songwriting is perspective but it'd be nice to hear a few play on words or even a metaphor more often. Best lyric so far was from Focus:

Verse 2 says "He gets this money so I guess I can't complain, I feel alone even when we're alone" that lyric makes me shed a tear and then I get into my feelings as if I had a reason to.

The sample she used with Floetry was wicked just because Floetry provides neo-soul feels and she mixed it with an alternative r&b beat which is an amazing genre fusion.
Her style reminds me of Jhene Aiko with not so much vocal arrangements but a focus on lyric content.

My favorite tracks off this album are "U" and "Losing." "U" is a phenomenal piece because I get these type of sex feels. The beat reminds me of a nice slow jam to have sex to, and the lyric content is deep. I love the word play with it. For example, she says,it could be us but it's just U. She's saying the guy is selfish and he's not really down for her. I love how the hook just pulls on your heartstrings and is so easy to become addicted to.

"Losing" is another favorite track. Sometimes we get caught up in the revolution going on politically or the "fuck bitches get money" that we don't seem to discuss the things we need a lot of; love & relationships. Relationships are the most complex things we have, whether it's with family or significant others and I believe besides turning up, I need to always reevaluate my love life.

Her instrumentals are sometimes relaxing, but overbearing to her lyric content causing for distraction. But I also think her songs are one of those that would relate to you when you're in the same situation she sings about. It's a song you keep in the back of your library for when you finally get in a relationship and have the same problems or just want something to relate to.
Her spoken word in the one interlude was very different. It reminds me of "Diary" by Wale, but because of the content of the spoken word, it reminds me of Alicia Keys', "You don't know my name." It's so sexy and sultry, yet makes you feel like you're there. The first time I listened to it, I didn't think it'd finish so quickly, so I played on repeat until my soul was filled.

Her emotions are poured in the lyrics, but I want more vocally from her. She stays in the same range even though harmonies show a little variation of her capabilities. The delivery of some songs like "Wait For It" strongly resemble a Drake-type of undertone–rapping and singing at the same time. It reminds me of a full album of Drake's Trust Issues like take care all over again. I love it. The album, overall, is something to listen to.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
