Summer Walker's latest offering, CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE is overflowing with mellow, vibey tracks that exude a delicate blend of swagger and vulnerability. On opener, "To Summer, from Cole," she steps off the mic, content to provide background vocals for J. Cole to rap over as he pens her a tender voice note that he calls an "audio hug."
From there, Walker glides atop a bed of plush guitar licks and crisp drum beats. Her vocals flow gently through the entire nine-track EP — whether she's tapping into her sensitivity ("How Does It Feel," "Pull Up") or asserting herself, like she does on "Hardlife" and "Mind Yo Mouth."
"I ain't your — ain't your momma / Wanna be with me then you gon' get up off your bottom."
