RATING; 6.1

Summer Walker’s Finally Over It feels like the closing chapter of a long, messy love story part catharsis, part couture and it wears both moods well. Released as the third installment in her Over It trilogy, the album finds Walker trading some of the raw, confessional edges of her earlier work for a more polished, conceptual sound that leans into ’90s/2000s R&B nostalgia while still staking out moments of modern trap-soul intimacy. 

Sonically, the record is lush and restrained: warm electric pianos, slow-burning grooves and close-mic vocal production create that vulnerable late-night mood Walker has made her signature. At times the production’s smoothness levels out the emotional jaggedness that used to make her music feel urgent — there are stretches that trade specificity for mood — but when Walker digs into the details (and when guest vocalists lift the energy), the result is memorable and affecting.

Lyrically the album examines self-worth, the exhaustion of repeated romantic cycles, and the slow pivot toward self-preservation. The two-part framing “For Better” and “For Worse” gives the project a theatrical spine, letting Walker alternate between surrender and resolve. Highlights like the lead single “Heart of a Woman” showcase her knack for balancing tenderness with steely clarity. 

Collaborations pepper the tracklist, offering welcome variety: some guests amplify Walker’s voice, others clash in interesting ways that underscore the album’s central tension between desire and detachment. Available across streaming platforms (including Spotify), Finally Over It won’t rewrite the rulebook for contemporary R&B but as a thematic conclusion to a trilogy, it’s a sophisticated, bittersweet statement that finds Summer Walker turning the page on her own terms.
