"when the poems do what they do" is the title of the debut record by poet and organizer aja monet and it takes us on a musical and lyrical journey of what words can do. From ancestry to political activism and vulnerable self-expression, the record is a document of the true power of poetry and jazz. In our conversation, aja shares detailed insights about the visions behind it.
The tender "Farm" is another prime example of the songwriter's musical qualities. Discover it in our playlist this week along with music by Anna Mae, Oscar Anton, Hope Waidley, I Want Poetry, Emis Wes and more.
