I don't use Spotify, but here's my most played song of the year.

youtube

last year when i posted this people melted down and went out of their way to misinterpret the purpose of this exercise and just say insane racist shit; the goal is to get you to reflect on whether or not you engage with black music and black art and artists, and if you seem to avoid doing so, to ask yourself why that is

if you would like, feel free to share the song/artist in the tags to share recs! always easier to begin or continue diversifying your listening habits with suggestions :)

#not going to lie i just listened to 12 songs on repeat constantly for like three months #said 12 songs were the repetoire for the choir i sing in #and this semester the overarching theme was american composers (plus one haitian and a canadian or two)#which obviously meant quite a few black composers #in addition to kanaval (linked in the post) we did william dawson's soon ah will be done (spiritual)#and sevier's arrangement of precious lord (very important hymn in the black churh especially at funerals)#as well as florence price's poem of praise and rosephayne powell's the word was god (both black composers)#shoutout to my (black) choral conductor for the amazing selections #Youtube
