Her

Gabriella Wilson, widely known as H.E.R., has indisputably made a resounding impact in the music industry due to her laudable talents. Although young, she has exhibited an old soul sensibility in her music, layering vintage R&B textures upon contemporary pop structures. Her innovative use of sound and ability to bring emotional resonance to her songs has garnered her multiple Grammy Awards including Best R&B Album.

In terms of her music videos, Wilson is as artistically conceptual as she is with her sonic creations. Scott Lazer, who has worked with the likes of J. Cole and Dreamville, played a pivotal role in directing some of H.E.R.'s videos. One of these videos, "Hard Place", notably presents her as a busker beneath a metropolis’s gruff concrete structures, emphasizing her humility and the depth in her music beyond the glitz of fame. Also, in her song "Could've Been", shot by the talented Lacey Duke, H.E.R along with Bryson Tiller, paints a cinematic tale of a love that, despite its inevitable end, retains a sense of romantic poignancy. Interestingly, the track "Damage" was actually shot in the iconic Roxie Theater in San Francisco, without a live audience due to the pandemic. The entirety of the stage, drenched in an ethereal blue light, added a layer of emotional depth to the song, echoing the pain and vulnerability so eloquently expressed in the lyrics. Wilson, by employing such diverse visuals in her videos, made nostalgia tangible and solidified her place in the auditory world.
