Brooklyn Summers is a proud trans woman who happens to be a talented singer-songwriter, as “Be W/U” demonstrates. This love song, propelled by a dreamy echoing collage of voices and a deep rolling bass synth, has great R&B feel and compelling harmonies. Summers gets topical on “Look Up,” where the singer, over a nice, easygoing track, drives home the message of Black struggle (single moms, police brutality) backed by an uplifting church/gospel crew that is powerful. Lastly, “The Hidden City” shows this artist’s abiding optimism in a heartfelt song that envisions a hopeful, paradisical place (“Welcome to the city of life...”). Excellent beats, appealing instrumentals, relatable messages.
