Even after giving birth to twins a few months ago, Summer Walker continues to prove her dedication to her craft. She performed at this past weekend's Dreamville Festival, chiefly using her time on stage to make an exciting announcement. In between singing some of her biggest hits from projects like Over It and Still Over It, the R&B diva confirmed that a new EP, titled Clear 2: Soft Life, will be coming very soon.
The upcoming release will mark her first solo effort since the 2021 album. That body of work markedly chronicled her tumultuous relationship with London On Da Track. The two artists share Walker's oldest child, Bubbles. Unfortunately, they've had a difficult time navigating co-parenting since going their separate ways. Since then, the Atlanta native has also ended things with the father of her twins, Larry, causing some fans to speculate that this new EP may give us some insight into that situation.
Summer Walker Says New Music OTW
"Just wanted to let y’all guys know that I have an EP dropping… May 19th. Go to my website if you wanna pre-order it," the 26-year-old told the crowd on Sunday (April 2) night. "Y'all ready for some new music?" As Hypebae notes, the planned release will serve as a sequel to 2019's CLEAR, which consists of four solo titles – "Riot," "Grave," "Wasted," and "Settling." More recently, we've heard the mother of three on "Tell Me It's Over" with Jacquees and 6LACK from the former's 2022 album, as well as alongside Ciara on "Better Thangs."
Regardless of what stories she plans to tell on her next project, R&B lovers are just happy to know that new music from the ethereal vocalist is on the way this spring. Elsewhere at Dreamville Fest, Summer Walker posed for a photo with Usher (who headlined on April Fool's Day and hilariously tricked his audience into thinking Beyoncé would be joining him) and played arcade games with J. Cole himself. Keep scrolling to see more photos and videos of the singer's weekend in Raleigh, and let us know if you're excited about her upcoming EP in the comments.
