Jagjaguwar US Vinilo y CD

Review: On her new album Across Water Made Us, Jamila heads into all new musical territory. 2017's HEAVN album was one that found the artist connecting with the lineage of Black feminist movements, then in 2019 Legacy! reframed her own experiences through iconic Black and brown artists. Now she cross new genre borders, sharpness up her hypnotic wordplay and lats down plenty of playful melodies that all help make for one of her most personal albums to date. It is fun and intimate as it tackles veracious subjects from new romances to endless love with features from Chicago natives such as Saba and Peter CottonTale.
