Still Over It

Released exactly two years after her debut 'Over It', Summer Walker's sophomore effort 'Still Over It' is a rare example of a 'sequel' album that surpasses its predecessor in narrative depth. The album serves as a chronological documentation of her tumultuous relationship and eventual breakup with producer London on da Track, who ironically produced a significant portion of the record. This creates a fascinating, meta-textual tension throughout the 20 tracks. Critics, including those from AllMusic and Rolling Stone, praised the album for its unflinching honesty and vocal arrangements. Musically, it leans heavily into 90s and early 2000s R&B influences, featuring collaborations with SZA, Ari Lennox, and Lil Durk. It broke streaming records for female R&B artists upon release, solidifying Walker's position as the leading voice of the 'toxic R&B' subgenre while simultaneously humanizing the tabloid drama that surrounded her personal life.
