Summer Walker

Summer Walker (born on April 11, 1996) is an American R&B singer-songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia whose 2018 debut mixtape Last Day of Summer went to number six on Billboard's Top R&B Albums Chart, number 25 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Chart, and number 44 on the Billboard 200. The single "Girls Need Love" reached number six on Billboard's Hot R&B Songs Chart and she released a remix of the track with Canadian rapper Drake, which reached number two on the Hot R&B Songs Chart and entered the Hot 100 at number 87. Her 2019 schedule included appearances at venues in Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York City, Washington D.C., Baton Rouge, Dallas, Atlanta and Sacramento. That same year, Summer Walker launched her critically acclaimed debut studio album Over It, which went to number 2 on the US Billboard 200 and substantially raised her profile. The LP featured the "Girls Need Love" remix as well as collaborations with Bryson Tiller, Usher, Jhené Aiko, and more, with the majority of its production handled by Summer Walker's ex-boyfriend London on da Track. The Life on Earth EP came in 2020 – following 2019's Clear – and in November 2021, she dropped her second studio album, Still Over It, which featured collaborations from Cardi B, JT of City Girls, SZA, Pharrell Williams, Ciara, and more, as well as employing high-caliber producers like 9th Wonder and The Neptunes. The album shot straight to number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming Summer Walker's first chart-topping LP and the first chart-topping R&B album by a female artist since Lemonade by Beyoncé in 2016.
