“Nowadays the typical formula for success includes information overload, but H.E.R. has actually managed to win with her mystique. Her silence is loud. Her shadow is light. That’s the thing about going left when everyone else goes right, it grabs people’s attention.” – Grammys.com
[New York, NY – November 2, 2018] Today, H.E.R. releases I Used To Know Her: Part 2, an 8-track, digital only EP, and the follow up to her I Used To Know Her: The Prelude EP, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. The new EP examines the perils and pleasures of relationships and coming of age in today’s society. Click here to listen.
Earlier this week, Apple Music announced H.E.R. as the latest “Up Next” artist to be featured within the video and music streaming service’s monthly program geared towards identifying and showcasing rising talent. The singer and multi-instrumentalist is currently the #6 R&B artist worldwide across Apple Music and has been a mainstay on The A-List: R&B playlist and Beats 1 Radio since September 2016. On November 6, Apple Music will feature a ‘Up Next with H.E.R.’ short film that will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the fascinating R&B artist’s career, musical background and process—in her own words and from those who work with her most closely.
H.E.R. also has the distinct honor of being the most nominated artist for the 2018 Soul Train Awards with 7 nominations, including Best R&B/Soul Female Artist, Song of the Year (“Every Kind of Way”), Album/Mixtape of the Year (H.E.R.), Best Collaboration Performance (“Best Part” w/Daniel Caesar), Video of the Year (“Avenue”) and two Ashford and Simpson Songwriter’s Awards (“Focus,” “Best Part” w/Daniel Caesar). The 2018 Soul Train Awards will air on November 25 at 8pm ET on BET.
