Halima is an R&B artist raised in Lagos and London and now working out of NY/Brooklyn. After putting out music on Bandcamp since 2018 and steadily building a following, she finally delivers an album on physical format! Built around themes of self-exploration and liberation, the record fuses R&B with sounds from the three continents that make up her roots — the electronic "eleven eleven," the Afrobeat-leaning "eau de vie," the bouncy 2-step of "oops." With the groove-packed, sexy Afrobeat cuts "cocoa body" (sample 1) and "november like u" (sample 2), plus "feel about it" (sample 3), a skit driven by 2000s-style R&B rhythm work, this is a striking R&B album that blends club bangers and sweet Afropop to perfection.
