Chicago-based soul singer Jamila Woods delivers a stunning sophomore effort with Legacy! Legacy!, released in 2019 on Jagjaguwar. Each track is named after and inspired by a legendary artist of color — from Zora Neale Hurston and James Baldwin to Frida Kahlo and Miles Davis — honoring their legacies as examples of unapologetically navigating life as a person of color. The result is a lush, layered album that moves fluidly across sonic landscapes while showcasing Woods' voice and lyrical sensibility at their very best.
Legacy! Legacy! is a richly thematic and musically adventurous record that resonates deeply across generations, blending soul, R&B, and funk into something entirely its own. The album's production is bold and dynamic, from the bubbling energy of tracks like "Basquiat" to the deeply personal and poetic "Baldwin," which stands as one of Woods' most powerful and emotionally resonant songs to date. Presented in a gatefold jacket with a lyrics and credits booklet included, this is a beautifully packaged release that does full justice to the music within.
