About Us
This week, we're focusing the spotlight on our favorite rising Black women musicians. Black music has had a profound influence on the evolution of the global music scene, with blues and gospel themes and styles transformed into jazz, disco, psychedelic rock, R&B, pop, hip hop—you name it! But the contributions of Black women to our contemporary understanding of music—not to mention the cultures emanating from the music scene—are often underrepresented or omitted altogether. So we turn to our favorite Black women artists establishing their place in the music scene now to celebrate their creations.
