There’s exciting news from Moor Mother<\/a>, aka Camae Ayewa, who has announced the release of her ninth studio album titled The Great Bailout<\/em>. Releasing on March 8th through ANTI-, it saw the composer, poet, vocalist and educator invite an impressive list of artists to contribute to the album, including Lonnie Holley, Mary Lattimore, Vijay Ayer, Angel Bat Dawid, Sistazz of the Nitty Gritty and Aaron Dilloway, amongs others.<\/p>\n

The 1833 Slavery Abolition Act and the 1835 Slavery Abolition Act acted as the backdrop for the album. \u201cResearch is a major part of my work, and researching history – particularly African history, philosophy and time – is a major interest,\u201d Ayewa commented. \u201cEurope and Africa have a very intimate and brutal relationship throughout time. I\u2019m interested in exploring that relationship of colonialism and liberation, in this case in Great Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The delicate, spectral, and sublime opening track ‘Guilty’, shared alongside the album announcement, masterfully sets the tone for the album. \u201cDisplacement and its effects are not discussed enough,\u201d Ayewa says. \u201cThe PTSD of displacement should be a focus, and as we have the opportunity to learn about things happening in the world, we also have the opportunity to learn about ourselves. We\u2019ve been through so many different acts of systematic violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘Guilty’ features Lonnie Holley, Mary Lattimore and Raia Was, and is offered with an accompanying video by Scott Kiernan<\/span><\/span>. Watch it below.<\/p>\n
