On her second album, R&B singer Jamila Woods grapples with the present by looking to the past. Each track is an ode to one of her inspirations, most of them women of color. Sometimes she writes directly from their perspective, but more often she draws from her subjects’ lives and adapts their words to her own life. She channels Eartha Kitt’s self-assuredness, then Frida Kahlo’s sense of balance in romantic relationships; Zora Neale Hurston reminds her that she is allowed to contain multitudes. Pulling from so many texts and thinkers, LEGACY! LEGACY! is theoretically dense, but it flows like honey. Woods’ voice is rich and velvety, and the album’s grounding in emotional truths makes it accessible and immediate. –Vrinda Jagota
节奏布鲁斯歌手Jamila Woods 在个人第二张专辑中借用过去的经验解决现在的问题。专辑中每首歌都是对她灵感的颂歌,她的灵感大多数来自于有色女人。有时她直接以这些女人的视角写作,但更多的时候,她从研究对象的生活中汲取素材,并把这些人的话语改编成自己的生活。她集中精力帮助Eartha Kitt建立自信,然后帮助Frida Kahlo在恋爱中找到平衡感;她知道自己可以像Zora Neale Hurston一样包罗万象。《LEGACY!LEGACY!》 借鉴如此多的文章和思想家观点,常理上来说应该晦涩难懂,但实际上却是浅显易懂。Woods的声音丰富而柔和,这张专辑以情感真谛为基础,易于为大众所接受。
