Highlights like 'Undercover,' 'Personal,' and the 'More Than a Woman'-interpolating 'Too Much' build on their inspirations with as much style, substance, and singularity as the debuts of Erykah Badu and Maxwell. What they and some of their collaborators put forth most strikingly is an aptitude for evoking 1994-1998 contemporary R&B - not just TLC, whose second album also inspired the album's title, but Brandy and Aaliyah as well - without sounding like a nostalgia act. The lows and highs, grief and pleasure, and insecurity and pride are all put on vivid display, and Kehlani pours themself into all of it without overselling a thought. The two preceding singles are on the standard version and more accurately forecast the album's lustrous pop-R&B framing of Kehlani's 'I contain multitudes' character. That song ends this album's deluxe edition. Biggest of all was the Suicide Squad soundtrack's 'Gangsta' - a melodramatic trap-pop ballad that, like many a Skylar Grey co-composition, went down a storm at teen-oriented mall outlets offering counterculture apparel. Shortly thereafter, the Pop & Oak collaboration 'Distraction,' a sweet midtempo number regarding a no-strings fling, evoked prime Missy Elliott and Timbaland - and faintly echoed forebears Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis - with harmonies that hit as hard as its booming bass.

The appealingly scruffy and scrappy 'CRZY,' recorded with up-and-coming duo Denisia Andrews and Brittany Coney, became Kehlani's first commercial hit back in July 2016.

While it was in the works, anticipation was built with a clutch of tracks, including a streak of three that charted. Their proper full-length debut, SweetSexySavage, followed its release by almost two years. Their second self-issued mixtape went Top Five R&B/hip-hop, cracked the Top 40, and was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Urban Contemporary Album. Kehlani's You Should Be Here struck some surprise blows.
