Description
R&B singer and songwriter Jamila Woods couches her defiant and uplifting lyrics in soothing, sweet melodies--delivering them in a soft, yet resolute tone. The Chicago-based musician's solo debut, "HEAVN," features a potent collection of soul-nourishing tracks, which stand as both intimate expressions of her own personal experiences, as well as anthemic calls to an entire generation struggling against racism and patriarchy. "It is our duty to fight, to fight for our freedom" shouts a chorus of children at the intro of "Blk Girl Soldier." It is a particularly powerful tune that confronts bitter truths with beautiful music.
