It's getting ridiculous that the industry gave H.E.R. all the awards an artist can win despite the lack of actual popularity of her music.
I would think a fairer choice for this category is Olivia Rodrigo, as much as her music isn't for me.

We are living in a strange time, that’s all I can say. We have witness several big R&B artists with not even ounce of what she’s receiving.

Summer Walker’s album debuted at #1 with literally quadruple the number of BOMM’s first week SPS. You’d think it would be the reverse considering how much critical acclaim, industry praise and exposure H.E.R. gets yet she barely outsold Queen Naija. 😭

Congrats to H.E.R.! I wonder if she can score another Oscar nomination or two for The Color Purple.

Yes, that tour is a bit odd without some major cities.

She’s the opening act for Coldplay’s North American stadium tour this spring/summer, these dates are sandwiched between theirs.

For someone with her Grammys, you wouldn’t think she would be an opening act. She’s also isn’t on her first album too so you will assume that she has build a fan base to tour majorly on her own. It’s also strange that she’s going on tour with a rock/pop band. I know her management is trying to get her success; however, it seems desperate.

This is a great move on her part. A more modest solo tour to do her album stuff which is all R&B, then a more collaborative large effort stadium tour to expand her audience and show off her musicianship, all while saving her label some coin.

I’m absolutely in love with “Damage” but I think it has more to do with the exquisite Jam & Lewis sample. Could anyone recommend any of her slower songs that are just as good?

Damage is one of kind from her. Personally, her best song! However, her first two EPs are pretty good. “Every Kind of Way,” “Take You There,” and “Something Keeps Pulling Me Back” come to mind. Oh I’ll throw “Closer” in there too. The latter do sample too.

No one noticed she wasn’t really playing the guitar on the Grammys. Lipstick Alley put her on blast for the other times she’s been fake playing too.

Damage is definitely her best song, mostly because I am very familiar with the sample and have always loved it.
