In a recent appearance on The New York Times podcast “Popcast,” Jack Harlow opened up about his artistic evolution and his transition from rap to rhythm and blues. The “Lovin On Me” rapper expressed that he feels he has “gotten blacker” through his new R&B album, titled “Monica,” reflecting a deeper appreciation for Black music and culture.
During the interview, Harlow acknowledged the discussions surrounding white artists in the music industry who often shift away from rap, opting for what are perceived as “safer” genres. He noted that he is “hyper aware of the politics of today” and understands why some of his contemporaries have chosen to retreat to traditionally white sounds. However, for Harlow, the desire to pursue R&B has been a genuine passion, and he relished the opportunity to embrace this new direction.
Harlow’s willingness to explore R&B not only showcases his versatility as an artist but also emphasizes his commitment to authenticity in his music. By choosing to go against the grain, he believes he has made his creative expression all the more compelling.
As fans anticipate the release of “Monica,” Harlow’s journey into R&B highlights his dedication to evolving as an artist while staying true to his roots in Black music.
