For singing sensation H.E.R., turning 21 last summer was the start of a time period that she won’t soon forget. Now at the age of 22, she’s taking time to reflect back on it by releasing both a new single and accompanying music video that depicts her amazing victory lap year.
Simply titled “21,” the new song sees H.E.R. both singing and rapping à la Lauryn Hill about the highs of her milestone year where she officially became a legal adult. The video shows never-before-seen footage that takes us behind the scenes into some of these moments as they were unfolding, intertwined with clips from the big 2-1 celebration itself. Of course, one of the biggest highlights was that major win at the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards where she won “Best R&B Album” for her self-titled mixtape H.E.R. and “Best R&B Performance” for her Daniel Caesar collaboration “Best Part.” Comprised of tour footage, some run-ins with Kel Mitchell and Charlie Wilson, plus lots of moments where she’s simply smiling, the video for “21” shows us that H.E.R. is literally just getting started.
