Description:
To an extent greater than that of Over It, Still Over It exhibits Summer Walkers knack for writing with detail and specificity while relating to a broad range of listeners. Take 4th Baby Mama. First, theres the title, named for the singers role in the life of London on Da Track, the producer of nine of the albums other songs. The ballad digs into the minutiae of Walkers grievances with her ex, but its the numbness and bafflement at egocentricity, unfaithfulness, failure to accept responsibility, and other issues common among bad partners, that cut through. In the majority of the songs ahead of it, Walker likewise lays bare her thoughts no matter how particular or detailed. Colorful and plain critiques alike, from I wanna start with your mama/She shoulda whooped your ass to You should know my body by now, have major significance. One doesnt need to have experienced such unique scenarios, or even be familiar with how Walkers life has played out on social media, to understand and feel where she is coming from. Somewhere in the second half of this hour-plus album, the mostly sedate sequence of productions -- some without beats, others with dragging trap-styled percussion -- make for laborious listening. The trade-off is Walkers vivid and biting lyrics and knack for singing them with such grace that they please the ear as much as they raise eyebrows. The stagnation is all the more tolerable when the first half contains Ex for a Reason, a Miami-meets-Atlanta bass jam and one of the eras most flavorsome crossover R&B hits. The la-di-da Try me, trespass/Guaranteed to beat yo ass is wielded like a knife coated in icing. ~ Andy Kellman
