Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Larry Mizell, Jr., host of The Afternoon Show on KEXP, is "Free Kelly Rowland (feat. Armand Hammer)" by Bartees Strange, from the 2021 album Live Forever (Deluxe Edition) on Memory Music.
Last year, DC-based musician Bartees Strange wow'ed us all with his debut full-length Live Forever, a genre-defying release exploring themes of racism and resilience. For the album's one-year anniversary, he reissued the LP in a deluxe edition version, which includes a re-worked rendition of the single “Kelly Rowland”, now titled “Free Kelly Rowland”, featuring New York-based hip-hop duo Armand Hammer.
