Jamila Woods – Water Made Us – Arctic Swirl Color Vinyl

Description

In her latest album, “Water Made Us,” Chicago musician Jamila Woods explores the notion of surrendering into love. The album, distinctively more personal than her previous works, showcases new genres and captivating wordplay, reflecting on the rollercoaster of love. Collaborating with LA-based producer McClenney, and featuring fellow Chicago natives like Saba and Peter CottonTale, Woods creates a comprehensive depiction of relationships’ highs and lows. “Water Made Us” is an allusion to a Toni Morrison quote, symbolizing memory, location, and return. Through the album, Woods presents love as an ever-changing sea; warm, deep and mesmerizing at its peak, and a disorienting riptide at its worst. Yet, she embraces every wave, viewing even heartbreaking endings as a pathway back to self.
