Water Made Us

Released

On her third album, Jamila Woods just keeps being a truly remarkable 21st century artist, her work an interweaving of entrancing vocal skill, compositional richness and lyrical strength. Beginning with the lush “Bugs” and then hitting a massive high mark with the beautiful rising power of the Duendita-featuring “Tiny Garden,” Water Made Us reflects on love and its nature and complications in ways ranging from meditative electronic piano ballads to solid bangers drawing on decades of soul and r&b antecedents with warm flourishes and individual panache.
