From the EP, here’s “Checklist” by Normani & Calvin Harris featuring Wizkid.

The EP begins with Caribbean-tinged R&B-dance heater “Checklist,” featuring verses from Nigeria’s WizKid. Normani drops a bossy, rhythmic vocal that’s husky and hypnotic. Harris hits the beat heavy and adorns it with some light strings, then drops the mood into a pop ballad with “Slow Down” that hits somewhere between his last album Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 and the classic house grooves of his more recent collaborations. Normani, meanwhile, meets the mood perfectly, switching between bounce and soul with ease.
