New Music Friday

[singedsun]

I'm not going to do the traditional New Music Friday post like I would be. Instead, let me point to this excellent list of rock and metal bands/performers with Black members. The author of this tweet put together a playlist on Spotify with these artists. Separately, I'd already made myself a similar playlist on Google Play -- it's not public at the moment, but I can make it public if people use Googly Play.

fuck it. a thread of black fronted bands in the heavy music scene

In addition, there's a new album from Run the Jewels this week, RTJ4. It's been on a lot in my house this week in addition to the above. [Spotify]

I'll leave you with this brand new video from an absolute queen of soulful songs, India Arie. Love this.

Thanks for the rec! I've been looking for new bands, so I'll take a look.

(Also, ah... Repo!)

There's a ton and they vary in style, but I've found even the ones I wasn't already listening to, have been a good addition to my playlist.

Another Repo fan! He's my icon for new music posts... a little zydrate to get you through the week. :D
