Philadelphia-based singer/rapper/songwriter Tierra Whack(1995) took six years after her first project Whack World(2018) to release her debut album WORLD WIDE WHACK, released by Interscope. In the meantime, she has already worked with prominent names such as
Beyoncé and
Tyler, The Creator. The record hints at the possible reasons behind the relatively long making process. For example, on several
… tracks, including Numb, Whack touches on struggles with mental health: "My wounds are still open, lost control of my emotions, devil keep on provoking, my joy has been stolen. Whack delivers the sometimes melancholy content in a lighthearted way, however, wrapping her lyrics in pleasantly catchy R&B. There is also room in the content for love woes, virtuoso raps and playful levity, such as the Shower Song, which is endowed with a funky bass line ('Singing like Britney, singing like Whitney, I sound great when I'm singing in the shower.'). This contrast marks this record with an overarching warm and relaxed sound, sprinkled by Whack with catchy hooks and melodies.(SD)more
