Talibah Safiya - Black Magic (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Black Magic by Talibah Safiya is an anthology of the Southern sound as it has traveled through time. This work is inspired by the legacy of the hill country blues, gospel, and rhythm and blues traditions that have served as the building blocks of American music. Through a critical, yet hopeful lens, Talibah Safiya pays homage to the giants of the genres such as Jesse Mae Hemphill, R. L. Burnside, and Junior Kimbrough by reimagining their classic works. Talibah’s Black Magic is a spellbinding sonic journey that doubles as a capstone project born out of her time as an artist in residence at the University of Memphis’ School of Music Business, where the University’s record label, High Water Records maintains a robust catalog of classic Delta Music. Riffing on the work of ethnomusicologist, David Evans, Talibah Safiya breathes life into the Black American music tradition with the adroitness of an artist turned scholar.
