Jun 18, 2021This album is a masterpiece!!! H.E.R. is versatile, sensible and confident on this new project. Worth the wait!!!

Oct 7, 2021The best work. Some songs reminded me D'Angelo's work. And I say this as a compliment.

Jun 20, 2021expected more than a debut album, H.E.R ran away from the vibe of compilations and this can cause strangeness, despite being an eclectic album, it lacks the excess of tracks and feats (none female)

Jun 9, 2022Deep sounds and a persuasive voice. Appreciated R&B work. Honestly maybe a little too dark, but a very good evolution of an artist worthy of Oscar awards

Jun 20, 2021H.E.R Guardem esse nome! Ela entregou tudo nessa obra-prima. Fez boas escolhas de posicionamento das faixas, é extremamente coeso além de entregar uma perfeita performance vocal e com boa produção. Só não ganha a nota máxima por conta da duração do álbum que podia ser encurtada com a exclusão de umas duas faixas, que não atrapalham a coesão da obra, mas podiam ser excluídas...

Jun 24, 2021Perfeito como tudo oque a Orcar-Winner se propõe a fazer. Uma obra prima, se preparam que esse álbum vai varrer os Grammys 2022

Mar 6, 2022It's enjoyable to keep tracking her music.
Some songs sounds like they talk to you. Some others are just ok or boring to listen to.
I personally enjoy: Back of My Mind, Come Through and Hold On above all others. -

Jul 27, 2021H.E.R. doesn’t push the genre or her artistry forward with this debut, but she more than proves herself a worthy torchbearer for the art of R&B balladry.

Jul 9, 2021While Ty Dolla $ign's street gospel support on the title song is a fine match, H.E.R. more often is too accommodating, most so on the Lil Baby meeting "Find a Way," where she drops de rigueur references to her bag, haters, and one of rap's most popular luxury cars. On a more discreet level, however, "Bloody Waters" -- a heady Kaytranada production tricked out with a delectable Thundercat bassline -- is a brilliant sequel of sorts to her Academy Award-winning "Fight for You."

Jun 23, 2021Ballads were a staple of H.E.R.’s initial five EPs, and she again uses them frequently on Back of My Mind, for better or worse. Nearly all of them are simple and pretty. ... The choices she makes—from the glossy R&B production to favoring vocal riffing over a good hook—feel altogether safe, like she’s protecting a legacy she was born into.
