Saweetie has a bunch of questions for us.
I still can’t believe Saweetie hasn’t dropped her debut album yet. Think about it—her first major hit blew up in 2017. Since then, she’s put out a string of big singles, had her own McDonald’s meal, dated two high-profile rappers, and made several TV appearances. But still, no album. Will one finally come out? Honestly, who knows at this point. What Saweetie HAS given us, though, is a brand new single called “Is It The Way.”
Shoutout to all the Jill Scott fans. Saweetie’s track “Is It The Way” samples Scott’s neo-soul classic “The Way” from 2001. While Saweetie doesn’t try to mimic Scott’s vocal style (thankfully), she offers a playful survey, asking listeners to weigh in on her sex appeal, authenticity, and bedroom skills. The standout aspect of the track is its hard-hitting, soulful production, which brings a nostalgic, old-school UGK vibe. While Saweetie’s rap delivery may not be my favorite, she delivers with enough charisma and flair to make an impact.
Is this another hit for Saweetie?
