Jamila Woods, a Chicago - based singer - songwriter and poet who often collaborates with well - known hip - hop, jazz, and soul artists, says, 'It's just powerful to me to know the lineage and influences that go into the making of the song.' Her debut album, HEAVN, is a masterpiece. Drawing from her past and present surroundings, it's a 'progressive, delicate, and minimalist' soul project filled with depth. Whether she's sharing her views on family, history, police brutality, or self - love, her message is clear and impactful. From start to finish, it's a captivating listen as she transforms personal experiences into something that resonates widely. Her voice, both musically and metaphorically, is truly a once - in - a - generation force. This is one of the best R&B/soul/hip - hop releases in recent memory, featuring guest appearances from Donnie Trumpet, Noname, Saba, and Chance the Rapper. Must - listen tracks include 'Lonely', 'In My Name', 'Blk Girl Soldier', 'LSD', 'Holy', and the title track which samples The Cure's 'Just Like Heaven'.
