WHAT IT IS: The mysterious, multitalented H.E.R.—an acronym for “Having Everything Revealed”—is one of the most all-around gifted artists to come along in years. A contemporary R&B artist who counts Rihanna as a fan, she not only has an incredible voice, it seems there’s nothing H.E.R. can’t do (songwriting, producing, live performing). A true musician with the ability to play five instruments, she’s also a poet and actress with a keen skill for channeling the pain and ecstasy of life.
