H.E.R. recently released a new single titled "The Journey," which tells the story of the 16 teams beginning their journey through the NBA Playoffs.
The song is also reflective of the personal journey of H.E.R., whose original name is Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson.
The 25-year-old R&B singer is entering the next stage of her career, ranging from releasing new music to her latest work within film and TV.
"The Journey" marks her first solo release since the 2021 album Back Of My Mind, which was nominated for a Grammy.
"The Journey" has been included within various in-game ESPN production elements, including vignettes voiced over by H.E.R.
The vignettes and additional production elements outline, through the song lyrics, the unique paths through the NBA Playoffs for all 16 teams.
Meanwhile, the 2023 NBA Playoffs, for the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, have narrowed down to four teams.
