Jamila Woods has been blessing our ears for a few years now, going all the way back to her debut album HEAVN. Her blends of soul and R&B are delicate, beautiful, and overall are a joy to listen to every time she comes through with new material. She also released another single this year titled "Tiny Garden," which is the lead song to her third album to come out this fall. Now we have another new track called "Boomerang."

This stunning ballad is one of uncertainty and wanting this person to love them back. Woods' vocals are pretty and whimsical as they usually are.
