R&B Songstress Cherae Leri adds some heat to this Hot Girl Summer with her latest single “If I Was Your Girlfriend” featuring production by BRICKS and Steve Hybicki. This record is a nostalgic offering inspired by the likes of Janet Jackson, Prince, and Aaliyah. With her successful, top-charting debut album The Pain That Sex Brings under her belt, Leri sets a tone and expectation for seductive, sultry, trap-infused, quality RnB and she’s delivered yet again. Co-written by Steve Hybicki and Cherae, the record details a cryptic dichotomy between dominance and submission, between fantasy and reality, between assurance and possible rejection. It’s not merely a boastful record of praise and self-adulation but a narrative of chance meetings, euphoric introductions, and a huge “what if” factor.
