New York R&B artist’s full-length debut has a fun sense of exploration and play but gets tripped up by its cosmic pretensions.
Three Dimensions Deep is a poignantly instrospective journey through all the contemporary R&B trends with impressive ease.
Today, if we look at the pedestal of the female R&B movement (Alternative R&B / Comtemporary R&B / Neo-Soul) of the last 5 years, we are lucky to have a handful of talented artists: SZA, Solange, Lianne La Havas, Kali Uchis, Rina Sawayama, Remi Wolf, Erika De Casier or even L'Rain.

This holds holds quite a few catchy stand-out singles along with some slower and more personal moments all of which add great deal of depth to her character and the album's title.
