Background and release


On 4 November 2016, Palmer released a 17-minute short film of the same name, which was premiered on Billboard's website and included an interview describing the recording process and what the EP was about.[2]


Critical reception


Billboard gave a positive review and remarked on the versatility of the tracks, stating, "[she] hones into her musical talents and offers up her vulnerable side on tracks like "Doubtful" and "Pressure." She also hits the ladies with the partystarter "Got Me F--ked Up" and flaunts her flawlessness as an African queen for "Hands Free.""[2] Rap-Up also praised the EP, and noted, "over 16 minutes, the multi-faceted star delivers banger after banger through various moods and themes. From the opening scene, in which Keke encourages listeners to believe in themselves, Palmer sets the tone for an artistic journey that includes documentary-style vignettes."[3]


Commercial performance


On 26 November 2016, "Lauren" debuted at number 18 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart,[4] number 42 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and number 22 on the Heatseekers albums chart.[5][6]
