I Love H.E.R! Her performances are always great.
The acoustic stuff is
VERY boring, and I hope its just b-side stuff and throw-aways that she is dropping to keep a little attention on her music. I pray its not indicative of what her next project will sound like. Because what a yawn
She needs to drop the gimmick as well, it doesn't serve her. Its nothing wrong with wanting to step into stardom, this whole "I must keep my identity a secret" shtick is stale. It barely works for Sia and only is bearable because she has already shown herself countless times before.
If she is being inspired by Lauryn Hill then great, TMOLH is one of the greatest albums ever made, I hope she leans into that more than the acoustic side of Lauryn.
