Hello may be Lyrica Anderson’s first proper album, but the singer brings more than a decade of experience to these smooth cuts and sharp lyrics—she’s penned tracks for the likes of Beyoncé and Tinashe. That background translates into an easy confidence: Anderson effortlessly slides from the clubby bass rumble of the Wiz Khalifa feature “Material Things” to the slick, Auto-Tune–enhanced warble of “Selfish”, the vocal fireworks of “From Scratch” and the snappy raunch of “Buzzin”. The results are both seamless and soulful.
