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.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
