The vocal gymnastics of the 1997-california-born work perfectly with her sharp sense of music that we’ve been wanting for a while for the new generation of new soul/hip-hop. It seemed to me that a fully grown and formed global level artist has emerged (since her debut in 2016 at 19 years-old), which was expected and overdue within the recent R&B wave of young artists.
The constellation of her talent, marketing, and collab’s adds to the credit and builds a strong brand.

Despite her impeccable delivery and a catchy blend of chords, I somehow regret that her jam turns out slightly déjà-vu or commercial (but, she’s at RCA). Thus I still wonder whether it is due to her talent to write and interpret universal tunes or if she is simply exploring grounds for a wider-audience reach.
Her own capsule look mixes with neat vocal runs (sometimes catching the gospel feels) on famous R&B hooks and drums – a recipe that have already long proved itself and that will certainly grow her fanbase furthermore.
Her well-deserved Grammy earlier this year win (2019) prooved she was one to watch as her musical growth and drive seems strong enough to lead her at top levels on a global scale. See below what Jackson Howard (contributor at Pitchfork) said about her back in November 2018 though:
