Cars lined up around the block and countless fans packed out Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre to watch and celebrate the growth of multi-platinum hitmaker, Summer Walker. The mom of three performed hits at her sold-out concert from her chart-topping new EP ‘CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE EP.’
The EP was released May 19 and has already garnered rave reviews. The nine-track EP, a sequel to 2019’s CLEAR EP, boasts a starry lineup of A-list collaborators such as Childish Gambino and J. Cole and production work from Solange, Steve Lacy, John Kirby and Jay Versace.
“For my new listeners I want to let it be known that CLEAR projects are my favorite music to make, it’s slick the only time I actually have fun making music,” she wrote on Instagram. “It’s raw it’s real it’s live. This for my day 1 fans, the rest of y’all will get y’all auto tune packed radio joints when the album come out *eyeroll emoji* *upside down smiley face*”

Summer had three outfit changes and wowed the crowd when she made a grand entrance on the stage dressed in a gold, glittery, flesh-tone body suit with a veil headpiece to match. The band, orchestra, and background singers were all dressed in white and her dancers complemented the white theme, dressed in their flesh-tone, sparkly body suits. Fellow artist and director, Teyana Taylor helped choreograph, design, and coach a performance Summer Walker’s fans will never forget.
The R&B sensation took moments out of her extravagant set to pay tribute to friend and mentor, Erykah Badu, R&B heartthrob D’Angelo and R&B OG Ginuwine. Other parts of her set included a BTS video of Summer interacting with her kids, fellow R&B singer, SZA, rapper J.Cole, recording in the studio, and more.
