Summer Walker Drops Dreamy “Clear 2: Soft Life” EP, Featuring Childish Gambino, J. Cole

by

The last time we heard new music from Summer Walker was in 2021. At that point, she released her second album, Still Over It. The record gave a behind-the-scenes look at her relationship with producer London On Da Track. The album became a certified hit, giving Walker her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Since then, the R&B songstress has lent her incredible talents to collaborations with the likes of Ari Lennox, Ciara, and The Weeknd. She has also expanded her family with the arrival of twin babies.

The artist first announced her Clear 2: Soft Life EP during Dreamville Festival a few weeks ago. Since then, her fans have been waiting with bated breath. Earlier this week, Walker decided to treat her fans to a sneak peek of the EP. In a video posted to social media, Walker is seen enjoying the company of her friends, Sexyy Red and Sukihana. They lounge by the pool and sample caviar in a comedic manner. Posing a humorous question, the singer asks, “So this is what the Caucasian people be eatin’?” Then, she finally revealed the details that fans have eagerly been waiting for. The video concluded with the project’s tracklist. Now, the wait is finally over.

Summer Walker Longs For The Soft Life

Summer Walker is back in fighting form on her new EP. It’s R&B perfection, equal parts soulful and sexy. The atmosphere of the project makes listening to it feel like a sort of fever dream. Walker is great enough on her own, but she also tapped artists like J. Cole and Childish Gambino to feature on the new effort.

While the features are certainly a highlight, the standout track is “Hardlife.” On it, the singer talks about her experience in relationships as a black woman. “Tired of seein’ all these, all these / Spanish and these white bitches,” Summer sings smoothly. “Livin’ they soft life with they feet kicked up / And they glass in hand, bills paid, thanks to the man.” Interestingly, on the final track, “Agayu’s Revelation,” Walker seems to have reached the conclusion that she can’t change someone who isn’t ready to change in a relationship.

Tracklist:

  1. To Summer, From Cole (Audio Hug) (Feat. J. Cole)
  2. Hard Life
  3. How Does It Feel
  4. Mind Yo Mouth
  5. Pull Up
  6. New Type (feat. Childish Gambino)
  7. Finding Peace
  8. Set Up (2017)
  9. Agayu’s Revelation

Summer Walker Recruits J. Cole, Childish Gambino, Solange, And Steve Lacy For Her ‘Clear: Soft Life’ Tracklist

After Summer Walker announced the release date for her new EP Clear 2: Soft Life at Dreamville Festival last month, she’s followed up today, revealing its tracklist. In a video clip Summer shared on social media, the singer shares a conversation with raunchy rappers Sexyy Red and Sukihana, complete with a ’90s sitcom-style laugh track. At the end of the clip, the tracklist appears, containing nods to guest stars J. Cole — who Summer beat at pop-a-shot basketball — and Childish Gambino. In addition, the final track is produced by Solange and Steve Lacy, which has fans on Twitter sharing their excitement.

Upon finding out that Solange is involved, Summer fans were flourishing. Solange hasn’t put out new music since 2019’s When I Get Home, so it’s understandable. And while she did compose a score for the New York City Ballet, that’s not quite the same as getting new music for public consumption.

In January, Summer celebrated reaching her goal of having “hella kids before 30.” Despite having three kids now with the birth of her twins, the Atlanta singer has still found the time to appear on tracks from Kali Uchis and Daniel Caesar and perform at Dreamville Festival.

Clear 2: Soft Life is out 5/21.

Summer Walker & Lil Meech Goof Off, She Claps Back At Haters Asking Why Same Energy Isn’t Given On Stage

by

Summer Walker fans are undeniably happy to see the R&B starlet in high spirits after hard launching her relationship with Lil Meech on social media. While the two seem to continuously laughing and smiling in each other’s company, external forces have been fighting hard to cause a rift between them. Celina Powell’s recent antics, such as sharing an alleged video of her and the BMF actor being intimate on OnlyFans, were an apparent attempt to split the new lovers up, but ultimately, Walker proved how much she’s grown in recent months by trolling her man rather than getting wrapped up in the internet drama.

On Friday (May 12), the mother of three kept the good vibes going, showing off some of her silliest dance moves as Meech watched on. In one of the clips posted on her Instagram Story, Walker even tagged Chris Brown, suggesting that her choreography could rival his. “You don’t want none of this,” she joked with her fellow R&B star. Rather than revelling in the happiness Summer chose to share with the world, haters took the opportunity to ask the vocalist why she fails to deliver the same energy on stage. “Doin’ all this on IG, but keep hittin’ that stage like she paralyzed lips down,” one user wrote in @theshaderoom’s comments yesterday.

Lil Meech Brings Out Summer Walker’s Goofy Side

After catching wind of the hateful comments, Walker took a moment to address them in another IG post, even demonstrating why dancing so freely wouldn’t work with her style of music. “I’m tired. If I came out on stage like this to this slow ass music they’d say it’s crack,” she wrote in her caption. “Like please.” With a song of her own blaring in the background, the Still Over It songstress proceeds to mount a chair in front of her, wildly swaying her hips along to prove a point.

“Are y’all catching my drift now?” she asked haters after taking the time to clear them. “It’s not adding up right.” No matter what critics have to say about her laid-back sets, die-hard fans of Walker are eager to hear her first project since 2021 later this month. During her set at Dreamville Festival a few weeks ago she confirmed that Clear 2: Soft Life will be dropping in the near future, and will likely be a part of many summer playlists as it circulates in the weeks after.

Celina Powell Gives Details of Her Sexual Encounter with Lil Meech

Summer Walker and Lil Meech seem to be exploring a new romance. And with that has come a hater, Celina Powell.

In case you missed it, the Over It single and BMF heir have been spending time together, with images of Walker in Meech’s chain hitting social media. With a rising romance coming, Celina Powell found a perfect time to fire off a sex tape with Lil Meech.

“I just posted the full video of me and babyyyyy BMF dick go crazy,” Powell wrote.

Now Celina Powell gives more details, revealing in her new The Toxic Twins Podcast how everything unfolded.

“I didn’t care about the fame anymore until the Lil Meech shit happen. He was like meet me in the bathroom, mind you, a rapper on Billboard is rapping in the booth. I’m trying to get a clip before the song is out. I go in the bathroom and give him the Gawk Gawk 3000. I couldn’t get the nut out, so a friend tried with me. He was not coming after two hours.”
