"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 sun-drenched indie-rock track by Julianna Riolino opens our final update before a short summer break. Further additions to the playlist also include songs from China Bears, Girl Ray, LIFE, King Princess and Alexandra Savior.
