Having Everything Revealed aggression isn’t passive.

While everybody is drafting for cuffing season, there are some of us still trying to tie up loose ends. H.E.R. Vol. 1 was released last month by Having Everything Revealed. HER has been getting a lot of buzz from fellow artists. The first song “Losing” feels like the B-side to PND’s “Come and See Me.” Fuckboys leading you on, only to switch up and leave you in uncertainty. A tale, told and experienced many times, is brought to life with a sensual beat and coated with a brooding sense of longing.

“It’s like when I feel lonely

That’s when you start acting choosey

I don’t wanna keep playing them games

‘Cause I feel like I’m losing”

Having Everything Revealed scored my entire year of love, in limbo with losing. The story of unrequited love in R&B is never ‘new’, but this perspective feels fresh. We always hear about love in its newness or its ending—never the not-quite there of like.
