Niykee Heaton’s debut mixtape distills the hip-hop covers and intimate live shows that fuelled her rise into a heady brew. Heaton’s whispery growl adds bite to the swirling romantic uncertainty of “Dream Team", while the handclaps and strumming that power “Lullaby” coax a reluctant lover with deceptively laidback vibes. The sparse, longing “Bad Intentions” (here assisted by Atlanta rappers Migos) ably sums up Heaton’s trap-pop aesthetic and mischievous attitude. But her songwriting throws out enough curveballs to keep listeners guessing—and wanting more.
