HALIMA 8211 Sweet Tooth 8211 CD SEP 19

CD Halimas debut album SWEET TOOTH is a bold declaration of power from an undeniable talent. Seductive, restless, and deeply assured, the record unspools like a night in motion. In the afterglow of her 2024 EP on drink sum wtr, praised by Clash Magazine, The Fader, BBC Radio, and others, the Brooklyn-based, UK/Nigerian musician solidifies her sound and expands it tenfold. If EXU was aspark, SWEET TOOTH is the full burn. Not so much genre-less as \”genre-full\”; the album spans a bright, lush world where club bangers meet deep ballads in a striking, fully-formed hybrid of honeyed Afro-pop and scorched R&B. Across its eleven tracks, Halima maps the push-pull of desire, transformation, and emotional reckoning. \”Sweetness on my terms, she offers a mantra for reclaiming softness without surrendering strength. The album is about the journey to reclaim one\’s self amidst the chaos of life and ultimately acts as a love letter to the pleasures and pain of these human pursuits.\” While SWEET TOOTH declares Halima\’s artistic arrival, she calls it an epilogue, a reflection on past behaviors and lessons learned. \”Am I the person that I wanted to grow into becoming? I think so. I\’ve given myself permission to be free of those things. To be bold. To take up space.
