H.E.R…NOW Magazine

H.E.R

What makes H.E.R more intriguing is her inconspicuous style; letting her talent speak for her instead. H.E.R actually stands for “Having Everything Revealed” however, she was born Gabriella Wilson.

Discussing the subject matter of her music and persona, she says, “I always used to say that I’d never be the girl who fell for the wrong guy or ended up being in a lot of situations that most females end up in—bad relationships or whatever,” she says. “Growing up, though, I ended up being that girl—her.” “That’s why I named the project ‘H.E.R.’ I realized that I needed to be super honest, and that’s how the music came out the way it did. I was forced to be honest and comfortable with myself and my vulnerabilities. I felt like I was alone in my situations, but when I dropped the project, I realized that a lot of women go through what I went through.”
