Reflecting on the Genesis and Impact of 'Heavn'

Woods shared her reflections on the album's origins via Instagram, noting, "Ten years ago today, the original SoundCloud version of HEAVN came into being. My first creation! It revealed a new aspect of myself and opened a gateway to who I could become." She recounted discovering a journal entry from 2015, a year prior to the album's release, detailing her band's dissolution and her uncertainty about pursuing music independently. Little did she realize that embarking on a solo career would deepen her connections with both her audience and her community. The highly praised 'Heavn' delved into profound subjects like police brutality, Black womanhood, and self-acceptance, all set against a backdrop of smooth R&B melodies.
