Review: Summer Walker – Finally Over It
Summer Walker’s Finally Over It arrives as a reflective, emotionally steady chapter in her catalog — one that fans describe as soft, mature, and intentionally healing. The album carries a noticeably calmer tone than her earlier heartbreak-heavy records, and many listeners appreciate this shift. They praise the project for feeling like true closure, calling it a “no-skip vibe” with smooth production and a sense of self-assurance that shows how far Summer has come.
Several songs stand out as instant fan favorites — tracks that lean into shimmering R&B textures, gentle melodies, and lyrics about rediscovering personal strength. Listeners especially love the warm, atmospheric production and the way Summer’s voice glides rather than aches. For many, the album feels like the emotional exhale they were expecting from her: honest but not heavy, soothing rather than chaotic.
Still, reactions are mixed in some corners. A number of longtime fans feel the album doesn’t hit with the same raw, gut-wrenching intensity that defined her earlier work. They miss the cracked-open vulnerability and messy confessionals that once made her music feel painfully relatable. Some also feel the large number of featured artists slightly dilutes the intimacy, making Summer feel less present on her own project.
Overall, Finally Over It is a well-crafted, graceful record that leans into healing energy instead of heartbreak scars. It may be quieter and less explosive than her past albums, but its emotional maturity and smooth, cohesive sound make it a meaningful evolution — a calm after the storm that feels genuine and earned.
