Jamila Woods' sophomore album, Legacy! Legacy!, features songs named after famous black figures. It's a sonic and lyrical tribute to Eartha Kitt, James Baldwin, Sun Ra, Zora Neale Hurston and more. Woods creates introspective music from the perspective of these icons, exploring how they pushed beyond societal margins. The beats range from bluesy rap grooves ('MUDDY') and electro - funk ('OCTAVIA') to house ('BETTY'), with Woods' evocative vocals gliding over them. Highlights include 'SONIA' with Nitty Scott's great flow, 'BALDWIN' with Nico Segal's horn skills, 'EARTHA' with its powerful lyrics, and 'ZORA' where Woods sings from Hurston's imagined view. This limited - edition release comes on cloudy pink colored double vinyl, in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves. Music label: Jagjaguwar 2019. Reviewed by singing in japanese 05/19.
