Summer Walker, Heart Of A Woman | Song Review 🎵

Summer Walker ‘brings the heat’ on her potent, cool energy, 1990s-sounding R&B single, “Heart Of A Woman.”

In the gospel according to Summer Walker, the “Only thing that’s saving you / Is the heart of a woman.” “Heart Of A Woman” is the promo single from Walker’s third studio album, Finally Over It.  Walker and Don Dias penned this R&B cut that incorporates a t cool, classic ‘urban’ sound – think the 1990s, early 00s R&B. Tavaras Jordan produced the record, which thrives off keys, strings, and refined musical cues. 

As always, Summer Walker matches the ‘cool energy’ of the instrumental accompaniment.  Her vocals are smooth and warm. She never sounds like she breaks a sweet.  Even so, she remains potent and firmly in command of the track.  Besides sweet lead vocals, the supporting background vocals are awesome too.  Also, the vocal production is well-rounded.  Even though Walker never gets too high, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t bring attitude.  “Wanna give up on you but, damn, I know I can’t / I put the blame on me for giving you chance after chance,” she sings in the first verse.  In the second, she asserts, “It’s my mind and my soul versus your pride / Nigga, check your ego ‘cause I left mine at the door.” Oh, snap! Memorably, in the pre-chorus, she tells him, “Put your words on your life this time / And I hope your ass ain’t lyin’ ‘cause / Only thing that’s saving you / Is the heart of a woman.” “Heart Of A Woman” is another bop from Queen Summer Walker!
