First Listen: Summer Walker Delivers Some “CPR”

Share this article

    October 28, 2018 – Summer Walker is a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Atlanta who released her debut full-length album, Last Day of Summer, on October 19th. Walker is already drawing favorable comparisons from critics to artists like SZA and H.E.R., and we agree that she has that special sauce.

    She credits Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse as major influences, and her debut trends towards slow-to-mid-tempo, alt-R&B tracks that wrap her rich, languid vocals around dreamy soundscapes. We feature here “CPR,” a delightful slow jam that highlights her soulful pipes.  Enjoy.
