R&B songstress Jamila Woods has announced her new album, LEGACY! LEGACY!, out May 10 via Jagjauwar. She has shared the album artwork and tracklisting, which you can check out below.
As suggested by the title and tracklist, the upcoming record is inspired by the different people who have made an impact on the singer. Each song is named after one of these people, which includes playwright and social critic Jimmy Baldwin, artist Jean-Michael Basquiat, and poet Nikki Giovanni.
Woods also shared her new single “Zora,” written in honor of author Zora Neale-Hurston. Speaking about the song in a statement, Woods said “My weaponry is my energy… An antidote for the feeling of being judged on first glance. A salve for when people think they know you better than you know yourself. It’s about refusing to be essentialized and not allowing your identity to be put in a box. You contain multitudes. You are ever-evolving. A song to get free from stereotypes & assumptions…”
