Back of My Mind

Even though H.E.R has released several EPs, these are just a compilation of her previous songs. Back of My Mind is her debut album that was just recently released a few days ago. The album features other talented artists such as Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, DJ Khaled and more with a total of 21 tracks.

Some of my favourite songs from the album include Come Through featuring Chris Brown and Closer to Me. According to H.E.R, the tracks represent her thoughts and feelings she had at the back of her mind.

I honestly believe songwriters write songs based on their thoughts and feelings. Song writing is like a way to escape reality and it also acts as a form of communication when words are not enough.

Previous Collaborations

H.E.R has collaborated with other artists such as Toni Braxton, Jhene Aiko, and Jazmine Sullivan for some of their songs. These songs include Gotta Move On, B.S and Girls Like Me. She has also collaborated with Chris Brown before releasing her debut album.
