H.E.R. — Damage

H.E.R.'s slow-burning R&B single is broadly charting today, tracked across 131 country and platform charts after a brief dip. Built by a heavyweight writing room — Ant Clemons, Tiara Thomas, and producers Cardiak and Jeffy "Gitty" Gitelman, with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis interpolating Herb Alpert's "Making Love in the Rain" — the track leans on a chintzy '80s synth-and-saxophone bed under a restrained lead vocal, as The Singles Jukebox noted at release. It arrived as the second single from Back of My Mind, the debut studio album from an artist who has since won an Academy Award and five Grammys. A durable centerpiece of her catalog, "Damage" remains her most streamed solo cut — and it's holding steady across the global charts today.
