2020’s Virgo season has come and gone, but for KeKe Palmer it’s a year-round affair.

After winning over music lovers with her ‘Virgo Tendencies Part I’ EP in August (click here to stream), the actor-singer returned in December with the set’s second installment – ‘Virgo Tendencies Part II.’

Like its predecessor, ‘Part II’ was produced by Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Tasha Catour and stands as a largely feature-less affair (save for an appearance from GRAMMY nominated rapper Rick Ross). Unlike its forerunner, ‘Part II’ packs its punch in nearly half the tracklist (boasting only 7 songs versus the 12 on ‘Part I’).

Look inside to stream the project via Apple Music and Spotify.
