H.E.R. doesn’t want her music to be boxed in.
“When I was creating it, I wasn’t really aiming for anything,” the singer-songwriter-instrumentalist said of “Back of My Mind,” her new 21-track album. “But when I started sequencing it and putting it together, I realized that a lot of the songs that I created were different moods of R&B.”

D’Angelo’s Verzuz was a whole vibe. Although fans were holding their breath to see if Lauryn Hill was going to perform when H.E.R. stepped in to sing ‘Nothing Even Matters’ and killed it!

“Play one of the records who’s coming up next,” said Swizz before Timbaland played a snippet of Ghostface’s “Cobra Clutch.”
“Ok let me play who Ghostface Killah is verzuzing,” Swizz continued before playing Raekwon’s 1995 classics, “Incarcerated Scarfaces” and “Verbal Intercourse.”
“Raekwon vs. Ghostface,” confirmed Swizz. “What we talking about New York City, Staten Island stand up. Wu vs Wu.”

This past weekend D’Angelo had the internet all in their feelings as he put on his own “solo” Verzuz, where he basically performed his classic cuts and covered other artists’ songs, much to our delight.
While few if any R&B artists have the kind of career or catalog to go up against the Neo-soul R&B singer, Swizz Beatz revealed that they had originally planned to have D’Bonics go one-on-one with fellow high-pitched crooner Maxwell. With an impressive list of hit songs himself, Maxwell and D’Angelo Verzuz would’ve actually been a competitive and memory lane-driven experience.
