Jamila Woods: “Water Made Us” (review & stream)

On their latest album, “Legacy! Legacy!”, she paid tribute to artists such as Miles Davis, Frida Kahlo, Sun Ra, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Zora Neale Hurston. A brilliant concept album, a mix of political reflection and personal introspection. Four years later, the confrontation with one’s own soul predominates.

Riddle love, between heaven and earth

Jamila Woods describes “Water Made Us” as her “most personal and vulnerable” work. What you only realize when you look at cheerfully swinging songs like “Tiny Garden” or “Boomerang” when you delve deeper into their lyrics. Neo-soul gems like “Bugs” or “Wreckage Room” shimmer wonderfully, and in “Let The Cards Fall” Woods’ astrologer has her say. Riddle love, between heaven and earth.
