WALKER USHERS IN APPLE'S R&B NOW

Summer Walker is the first artist featured on Apple Music’s new playlist R&B Now, kicking off with her new track "Come Thru," a duet with Usher.

The LVRN/Interscope singer told Apple Music, "How many people actually get the artist they sampled on the song with them? To have Usher on this with me is so amazing and such a big deal for me and R&B in general. I hope everyone loves our spin on his classic record."

Walker also chatted with Ari Lennox about dating, the state of R&B music and everything they are over with. Fingers crossed that she doesn’t mention visits to the HITS office.
