“My vision for Over It Radio is to create a safe space where I can own my own narrative and provide a platform for the women I admire in the entertainment industry to do the same,” Summer Walker tells Apple Music. “We discuss the topics that matter to them, without any hidden agendas.” On her new radio show on Apple Music 1, the Atlanta R&B artist keeps it real, sparking honest and open conversations over the course of six episodes. “Listeners can look forward to hearing powerful, accomplished women celebrating their successes,” she says. “Sharing their frustrations about what they’re ready to move on from and keeping it real about the challenges they face as women, mothers, and entrepreneurs.”

Every major artist has those standout blockbuster hits that come to define their careers. For Adele, it’s “Hello” and “Rolling in the Deep.” For Drake, it’s “In My Feelings,” “God’s Plan,” and “Hotline Bling.” For Maren Morris, it's "The Bones" and "The Middle." For Beyoncé, we admit, it might be too many to list here. Every other week on Essentials Radio, a rotating cast of hosts explores the hits that turned some of their favorite artists into superstars and household names, and celebrates the anniversaries of their most famous albums.
