H.E.R. Brings Her Own Twist To The Foo Fighters’ “The Glass”

by

H.E.R. possesses one of the most soulful and elegant voices in all of R&B. Unfortunately, her career is at a bit of a crossroads right now. What we mean by that is she has slowed down her musical production she appears to be following a trend of releasing a new album every two years. However, it seems that might not continue this year.

The only material she has put out this year was a solo single released back in May called “The Journey.” Additionally, she has been a part of a remixed single with Asake. “Lonely At The Top” dropped just a couple of days ago and there is also an acoustic version with H.E.R., too. Now, she is back to “remix” another single.

She teams up with the popular alternative rock band, Foo Fighters. They have a brand-new album out now called But Here We Are. One of the tracks “The Glass” has a more mellow and sentimental tone to it. While this is an unexpected collaboration, we can see why H.E.R. fits on this song. Foo Fighters vocals are removed and she covers the track with an even more chill production style. It is the perfect song to grab your significant other for and slow dance with.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single from H.E.R. and the Foo Fighters, “The Glass?” Is this one of the best covers of all time? Is H.E.R. still an underrated R&B singer?

Quotable Lyrics:

Waitin’ for this storm to pass
Waitin’ on this side of the glass
But I see my reflection in you, see your reflection in me
How can it be? (How can it be?)
How can it be?
There is somethin’ between us
Between me and you

Foo Fighters And HER Will Each Share Their Own Spins Of ‘The Glass’ With A Special Double A-Side Release

by

Much to the joy of fans, Foo Fighters officially announced that they will be dropping a double A-side single of their song, “The Glass,” including a reinterpretation of the track performed by HER.

The track will be available to stream starting this Friday. There is also a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl that is currently up for pre-order. This will be released on December 29.

While the two performed the song together during the band’s previous Saturday Night Live appearance, Grohl delivered the lead vocals while she first popped in as the backing vocals in the chorus. From there, she carried the second verse on her own, giving fans a glimpse of what she’ll sound like delivering the heartbreaking lyrics in the full upcoming song.

HER will appear solo on this release, delivering new vocals and guitar instrumentation that is meant to transform the original’s “sonic and emotional dimensions,” per a release.

“The Glass” previously appeared as part of Foo Fighters’ recent album, But Here We Are, which dropped back in June. It marked the band’s first record without their late drummer, Taylor Hawkins.

Check out the Foo Fighters’ SNL performance, featuring HER, above.

Tonight’s Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony has honored a truly stacked list of musical legends for 2023. During the show, Chaka Khan received a heartfelt tribute as one of the inductees. Other musicians like HER, Sia, Common, and Jazmine Sullivan welcomed her with the award.

Sullivan led Chaka Khan’s induction speech — giving kind words to one of her biggest inspirations. “That voice, as raw as it is sweet, as sensual as it is soulful, has guided us through good times and bad, through meet-ups and breakups, through desire and despair, through hard times and higher love,” Sullivan said, according to Rolling Stone. “Chaka’s voice will never get lost among her peers or fade in the background, her tone stands alone. Everything about Chaka is fire.”

She also shared a story about how Khan was there for Sullivan’s mother when she went into remission for cancer.

From there, HER, Sia, and Common all appeared at different times to perform a blend of Khan’s songs. Common did “I Feel For You,” and HER played stuff from Khan’s time in Rufus with “Ain’t Nobody” and “Sweet Thing.” Sia closed out the medley with “I’m Every Woman,” according to the publication.

Check out a video from Chaka Khan’s induction tribute here.

HER’s Lights On 2023 Festival Has Been Canceled A Month Before It Was Scheduled To Take Place

Although live entertainment has been back for two years, the industry is still being hampered by logistical issues, leading to the cancellations of a number of festivals this year, including Made In America, Kid Cudi’s Moon Man’s Landing, and Rolling Loud New York, among others.

The latest event to suffer this fate is the third edition of HER’s Lights On Festival, which has been canceled just one month before it was due to return to Mountain View, California’s Shoreline Amphitheatre. The festival, which was to have been headlined by Jazmine Sullivan and supported by Alina Baraz, Don Toliver, PartyNextDoor, Smino, and Syd in addition to rising Bay Area stars like Rexx Life Raj and Symba, was scheduled for September 16-17.

In a statement sent to the San Francisco Chronicle, a representative of the festival wrote, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Lights On Festival will not take place this year. We sincerely appreciate and value the Lights On Festival community and look forward to returning with an incredible experience in 2024.” Refunds are expected to be processed automatically.

Lights On was previously held at the Concord Pavilion in 2019 and 2021, postponed in 2020, and was not held in 2022. It moved to the larger Shoreline Amphitheater this year to accommodate a larger fan turnout.

HER Is Officially Looking To Complete That EGOT With Her Broadway Show Opening This Month

Singer and actress Gabriella Wilson, better known as HER (but she should really consider going by her real name, already), told Entertainment Tonight in 2021 that she wanted to win an EGOT (one each from the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards) shortly after taking home an Oscar for her Judas And The Black Messiah track “Fight For You.” Then, last year, she picked up an Emmy for producing on Netflix’s We The People with the Obamas. This month, she’ll take an earnest swing for the final award, a Tony, with a producer credit on the upcoming Broadway show, Here Lies Love.

Co-written by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, Here Lies Love follows a narrative centered on former Philippines first lady, Imelda Marcos. It’s fitting, then, that Wilson is also producing, as she proudly represents her Filipina heritage in her work, such as the designs on her dress in Disney’s Beauty And The Beast: A 30th Celebration. Should the show win a Tony Award next June, it’ll make her the youngest woman to ever achieve an EGOT by ten years; the current youngest woman is Jennifer Hudson, who was 38 when she won in 2021, becoming the 17th person overall, the third youngest person, and just the second Black woman to win ever. She was most recently succeeded by Viola Davis, the 18th person and third Black woman, last year.

HER shared a preview video of the show on her Instagram on Sunday, sharing the opening date, July 20. Check it out below.
