Comprised of all new material plus a few skits and interludes, Heat The Streets leans into Elmiene’s lifelong love of R&B. Unafraid of sharing big feelings and making grand romantic gestures, the mixtape embraces the emotional depth of classic R&B: ‘Useless (Without You)’ is a yearning ballad that denies life’s meaning without a lover, while ‘Damage Control’ imagines the eve of a relationship’s demise over an irresistible funk groove. The tape ends with a warm cover of Carole King’s ode to universal love ‘You’ve Got A Friend’.
