Tierra Whack can’t escape the storm on her somber new “R&B?” cut, “Heaven.”
This holiday season, Tierra Whack seems to be in an especially festive mood because to fans’ amazement, she has gifted them with more new music. On Thursday, Whack returned once again with her third project of December, following the three-track EPs RAP? and POP? earlier this month. Titled R&B?, the Philadelphia artist’s latest effort is a more disquieting release than her both of the aforementioned projects, as she explores a significantly darker sound.
The somber nature of R&B? is best exemplified by “Heaven,” the EP’s first track. The J Melodic-produced song finds Tierra Whack longing to reconnect with all of the loved ones that she has lost throughout her life, and its hook is absolutely heart-wrenching. Over and over, the rapper, singer, songwriter, and poet laments, “Heaven has all of my favorite people,” and although the song is rather repetitive, that doesn’t take away from its emotional intensity.
