If you are a fan of H.E.R., well, you have incredible taste in music. Overall, H.E.R. has developed some amazing music over the years. She is a very talented singer, and her r&b stylings have always dazzled. Additionally, she is an amazing guitar player. So much so that Fender gave the artist her very own Fender Stratocaster. This is an honor bestowed on few, which just goes to show just how essential she is as an artist.

When you think about H.E.R., seldom do you probably think about the NBA. Well, you can change that line of thinking, immediately. It was revealed today that the artist has been working with ESPN and NBA. Diane Warren penned the song, whose message resonates with this moment in basketball, as the NBA commemorates the playoffs and how hard it is to win it all. That is especially true when you think about how the Conference Finals are currently underway. Although, it is important to note that the song was independent of the league. In the end, the league just heard it and loved it. Below, you can find this new track called "The Journey."

H.E.R. Comes Through With A Ballad

Although this song is being used by the NBA, it doesn't have your typical barrage of basketball references. Overall, this makes for a much more enjoyable listening experience. However, that is not to say the song doesn't match the spirit of the playoffs. As you will hear, there is a ton of passion radiating through H.E.R.'s voice. Many of the players in these playoffs can resonate with the lyrics, and we're sure the track will be a welcome addition to ESPN broadcasts.

Overall, this is another great track from H.E.R. Hopefully, she blesses us with more songs, very soon. Perhaps a new album is in order? Let us know your thoughts on this track, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Quotable Lyrics:

All the times you thought you'd never make it through
Felt just like the world just turned it's back on you
Didn't stop you
All the times you could've give in and you'd given up
Times you didn't know if you were strong enough
Still you got through
