Grammy-nominated R&B sensation Summer Walker, recognised as one of the defining voices of her generation, is back with her highly anticipated album, “FINALLY OVER IT.” This release marks the conclusion of her trilogy (Over It, Still Over It, Finally Over It) and delves into themes of liberation, self-love, and emotional growth. The music beautifully encapsulates typical Summer vibes, blending 90s nostalgia with contemporary R&B influences.
Summer first burst onto the scene in 2019 with her debut album Over It, featuring the platinum-certified single “Come Thru” and the double-platinum hit “Playing Games.” Her talent garnered her numerous accolades, including Best New Artist and Album of the Year at the 2020 Soul Train Music Awards, an iHeart Music Award for Best New R&B Artist, and the Billboard Award for Top R&B Female Artist. Both “Come Thru” and “Playing Games” contributed to her receiving several ASCAP Awards.
Her second album, Still Over It, skyrocketed to the top of the R&B charts, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and selling an impressive 166,000 album-equivalent units. This achievement earned her the coveted Chartbreaker Award at Billboard’s Women in Music ceremony.
FINALLY OVER IT” promises a compelling campaign to accompany it. Starting with a striking cover shoot reminiscent of Anna Nicole Smith, Summer surprised her fans last week with a 90s-inspired commercial on The Shaderoom, urging viewers to call her hotline as “emotional compensation” for their patience. This album completes the narrative arc that began with Over It in 2019 and continued with Still Over It in 2021. In it, Summer liberates herself from past patterns and steps into a dreamlike world of her own creation, a space where heartbreak transforms into art, and the past is finally settled.
