On her debut album, Tierra Whack makes her grand return as hip-hop’s favorite post-Missy Elliott oddball.
World Wide WhackA sing-songy but sullen Whack openswith “Mood Swing,” protectively deciding to “keep my guard up so you never get to know me.” The irony is that, throughout an LP of jungly production, clever humor, and adept rhyme schemes, it feels like we know her evenOn the gloomy “Numb,” she mumble-croons about anxiety and heartbreak, observing, “How’d I make it this far? / Long sleeves cover scars, my tears in a jar.
” She’s folkish on the diaristic “Difficult,” singing about stress and insomnia as she admits, “I’ve been looking for somebody I can vent to.” Whack slips into a tranquil indie-rock vibe on centerpiece “Imaginary Friends”—but even in that dreamy context, she sings, “When I grow up, I want to hang from a ceiling.” The atmosphere isn’t entirely dark, though: Synth-y single “Shower Song” presents her lighthearted, comical side—a reminder that she can keep up with the TikTok times.
