It’s such a great feeling to see young black women thriving in music, especially R&B. Yes, it’s dope to see black women applying pressure in rap of course — but those infectious vocals in thorough R&B singers just hits different. For the album’s announcement, H.E.R. took to Instagram to share a trailer where she talks about the inspiration behind the title: “It’s always the thoughts sitting in the back of my mind. It’s always things that I’ve been through and things that I go through, that I feel. All those thoughts that I think I’m afraid to say sometimes — things that feel too honest, too emotional, too vulnerable, too aggressive — all of those things have been in the back of my mind since my first project. It’s like a peek into my soul”
Equipped with a total of 21 records, H.E.R. enlisted some prominent features to contribute to the album’s success including Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, Cordae, Hit-Boy and more! Tap into Back Of My Mind and catch a vibe.
