Best New songJamila Woods — Blk Girl Soldier
Posted by LetsLoop on June 7, 2016, 4:00 pm Blk Girl Soldier is taken from singer, poet, songwriter @Jamila Woods's much-anticipated debut album, HEAVN. It follows her high profile guest appearance on Blessings, from @Chance The Rapper's breathtaking Coloring Book mixtape.Here's what Jamila had to say about her new single and its video:
"I wanted to celebrate the power and resilience of black women but also highlight the importance of allowing space for more quiet, vulnerable moments where we can refuel ourselves and each other. The goal of the Blk Girl Soldier video is to lift up the black women throughout history and today who inspire me and who are doing brilliant artistic and activist work. Knowing my history and what my people have survived before me has made me stronger."
And her upcoming debut album:
"The project is still very much in progress, but a major theme is affirmation. An affirmation is a declaration that something is true. A lot of times affirmations are used to speak things into existence. Blk Girl Soldier declares that black girl lives matter. It speaks to the resilience I have seen in black women around me and that I hope to manifest in myself. A lot of other songs on the project attempt to conjure my dreams or beliefs into existence in a similar way."
Definitely one to watch in 2016!
