R&B singer-songwriter Sevyn Streeter is making a soulful comeback with her new single “Assumptions.” The track marks Streeter’s first fresh music of the year and a return to the early-2000s R&B vibe that originally put her on the map. Clocking in at just over two minutes, “Assumptions” wastes no time delivering smooth vocals and a throwback groove (complete with a classic Neptunes-style snare) sure to have R&B fans feeling nostalgic.
Streeter co-wrote “Assumptions” herself and teamed up with producer B.A.M. on the track. Lyrically, the song finds her addressing relationship misunderstandings head-on. She makes it clear she’s not here to “make assumptions” about love. Instead, Streeter preaches honest communication — at one point singing about getting “straight to the point” rather than letting uncertainty linger. Her candid approach and the song’s mellow, sultry beat highlight the singer’s roots in classic R&B while still keeping the sound fresh for today.
“Assumptions” also signals an exciting new chapter for Sevyn Streeter, whose last major project was 2022’s Drunken Wordz Sober Thoughtz (Deluxe). Fans have been eager for new music, and Streeter has hinted at more to come. (Over the summer she teased on social media, “I wrote sum songs for the girls, press play soon.”) With this confident new single, she reminds the R&B world of her talent and sets the stage for whatever she has in store next.
