The rising alt-R&B star on the blues, defying industry stereotypes, and meeting a fan who got pregnant to her music
concert when I was, like, seven years old. B.B. King, with literally one note on the guitar, does something to everyone in the room — and that’s what I’ve been inspired by as far as playing: feeling instead of technique. Even Donny Hathaway, how emotional his voice is, his tone is very bluesy, very gospel-y. That type of music gives you a feeling you can’t necessarily describe. Music is healing. It’s something you can’t explain, you just feel. And to me, blues does that.
It wasn’t a song for anybody else so much as it was for me. I sometimes have to remind myself not to feed into the pressure of what a female artist should be. People are saying, you know, “Why do you wear baggy clothes? You’re pretty, you should show your face.” I had to remind myself that I’m anti all those things.
I mean, that wasn’t my message. That was YG’s message! I just put him on the song. I’m not complaining, because I would never say that on a record, but he definitely was just being himself. I asked for YG and I got YG! It’s just a fun song — people hadn’t heard a H.E.R. song like that, where I was just chillin’.
