The last we heard from Cherele was "vi$ions," which kind of sounded like if you got Kelis to sing the "I Just Wanna Love U" hook over the beat from N*E*R*D's "Lapdance". However, her Neptunes worship replaced Pharrell's silky smooth synth tones with something a whole lot grittier, and her new record, "Wine Drunk," takes things wide-screen, adding multiple layers of instruments, her voice now one of many moving forces.
With that being said, her vocal performance remains the focal point, coming hard on the verses before reeling her voice in for a supremely in-the-pocket flow for the hook.
Cherele's debut album, Paradise Lost, is out now.
Quotable Lyrics:
I ain't what you want lil' bae
I'm what you need
Better slow down, better breathe
I ain't what you want lil' bae
Slur words, make that shit hurt
