KEXP’s web team got together, and each wrote an essay on Black artists they are gravitating to now. Today’s podcast presents that article in audio form.
February is Black History Month, but here at KEXP we're celebrating what we are calling Black History is Now. Instead of relying on the music of legacy acts like those involved with Motown or the Golden Era of Hip-Hop, we are celebrating the artists who are making music and art today. KEXP’s web team got together, and each wrote an essay on Black artists they are gravitating to now. They wrote about it for this month's edition of KEXP's In Our Headphones column. Today’s podcast presents that article in audio form.
Finding good new music can be a full time job, so let KEXP help! In Our Headphones brings you five song recommendations every Monday, straight from KEXP’s DJs and Music Directors. Join hosts Janice Headley and Isabel Khalili on this never-ending journey of music discovery.
Host Emily Fox and KEXP’s editorial team talk with artists about the stories behind their songs and the experiences that inform their work. Through each conversation, we uncover the humanity behind the music, allowing us to hear it in a whole new way.
