February 23 street date. Erika de Casier isn't searching for perfection - she's just trying to show you where she's at right now. Her third album, "Still", proves that she is a master of writing songs that speak to universal experiences of modern life, even for all their specificities and quirks. If "Essentials" (2019) was filled with perfect songs about flirtation and new love, and "Sensational" (2021) added wrinkles in the form of partners who were rude and plainly annoying, "Still" sees de Casier writing about genuine heartbreak with a new clarity. Yet among all the success, the accolades, the acclaim, her greatest achievement may be, simply: she's still Erika de Casier. The album is classic de Casier, her idiosyncratic mix of luxuriant electronica and moonlit R&B drilled further into that one-of-a-kind sound. The songwriting is as masterful and universal as ever, and her proficiency as a producer heightened as she produces other voices (They Hate Change, Shygirl, Blood Orange) for the first time.
