Summer Walker is holding it down when it comes to the new school R&B girlies. Her modern takes on classic melodies from the 90s and 2000s keep us hooked and we can’t wait to welcome her to the ESSENCE Festival stage this summer.
From her debut commercial mixtape Last Day of Summer to her recent album Still Over It, the LoveRenaissance/Interscope artist taps into the most vulnerable and unapologetic parts of herself and inspires many Black women to do the same.
Get ready to sing your heart out about all things life, love and lessons learned with this playlist of Summer Walker songs. For more information on tickets, access and updates on this year’s ESSENCE Festival of Culture, visit www.essencefestival.com. See you in NOLA!

Now this is how you spin a classic!

Can we get an extended version, please?! Sis definitely read through one of our journal entries, maybe two.

Honestly .. never heard a song so smooth.

Is it us, or are the shortest songs always the best? “What’s temporary, me or you?” QTNA!

Summer may be “Still Over It” but this song is definitely repeat-worthy and needs to be on your playlist immediately.
9. Playing Games
“I’m just trying to match your words with your actions.” We felt every word, sis.
