Jamila Woods discusses LEGACY! LEGACY! inspiration: "Like a really cool way to sit with the spirit of each of the artists and think about what they've given me."

Jamila Woods

Jamila Woods calls up Kyle Meredith to discuss Legacy! Legacy! The sophomore record arrives with a unique concept, as each song is named after a hero of hers, artists of all kinds from musicians to writers to painters, and finds refreshing ways to weave their histories into her own story. We get to hear the ideas behind "Basquiat," "Miles," and "Muddy," as well as the concept of Afrofuturism as told through "Octavia" and "Sun Ra". Woods also tells how guests artists (Saba, Nitty Scott) fit into the narrative.

Listen to the interview above and then check out the videos below.

Kyle is the WFPK Music Director. Email Kyle at kmeredith@lpm.org
