A slow-burner of a track, “shower boy” introduces the SOTB audience to alt-R&B songstress Abel. A song that questions what she wants out of her partner while also a song that requests that games stop being played, “shower boy” is a boisterous track on a sonic level. It reminds me of a mix between The Weeknd and Giveon in its approach to heartache and maturation. It’s one of those songs that’ll get stuck with you and you’ll hum it without realizing it. It’s also a bop that’ll make you make sure you’re doing right by your partner.

I like it and hope you do, too. Check it out below and support dope music in all its forms.
