New York Fashion Week is always a vivacious display of variety, a collection of vibes that always seem to blend together seamlessly. The same can be said about the artistry of up-and-coming singer/songwriter Absolutely, whose songs are curated with a touch of adventure and futurism infused into stunning R&B-inflected pop.
“I don’t just view these as songs,” she says. “I want what I’m creating to be seen as art. The lyrics aren’t so straightforward all of the time. It’s meant to make you think. When you look at a piece of art, it’s up for interpretation. My brain, feelings, and emotions are literally in the tracks, so I hope you feel it.”
Absolutely recently released her debut album Cerebrum, which was executive produced by Dave Hamelin. But this was not her first time creating hits, as the artist had previously co-written a wide variety of songs, including “Fair” for Normani, “Get Together” for David Guetta,” and “Faking Love” [feat. Saweetie], “Gimme Your Number” [with Ty Dolla $ign], and “Maria Elegante” [feat. Afro B] for Anitta’s multiplatinum chart-topping global blockbuster Versions of Me in addition to “Sueltate” from Sing 2.
During Fashion Week, Absolutely joined Groovevolt’s Play Series at SoHo House in Manhattan to perform songs from Cerebrum as well as some of her renowned singles. The Singer dazzled the crowd with her debut single, “Higher,” which encapsulates an otherworldly aesthetic. It’s a glimpse into the future of pop music, where boundaries are blurred, and creativity knows no limits.
