A singer who found early success with 'Happiness' and returned years later with 'Acid Rain.'
For the early sound, 'Hush Hush' from that first album still holds up. If you want to hear where she landed later, 'Acid Rain' is the one to play.
Her debut single 'Happiness' was a genuine hit in 2011, landing in top 10 charts across multiple countries. That song's clean, bright production and her clear voice gave her a foothold right out of high school. Later tracks like 'Acid Rain' show a different, more reflective side, especially with J Cole's feature adding some weight.
She started singing in church choirs in South Carolina before 'Happiness' broke through and got her a deal with StarRoc and Jive. After her self-titled debut album and a follow-up in 2013, she stepped away for a bit. She came back in 2019 with new music and has talked about mental health in interviews since then.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
