Hear ‘HEAVN’: Jamila Woods’ project inspired by Black girlhood

Hear what HEAVN sounds like.

Over the Summer, Jamila Woods released “HEAVN,” a 13-track project about Black girlhood. It features Noname, Lorine Chia, Chance The Rapper, Saba, and Donnie Trumpet—all fellow Chicagoan artists. Solidarity and love are apparent. My personal favourites are “Lonely Lonely,” HEAVN,” “LSD,” and “Blk Girl Soldier.” Listen to the smooth new music below. If you like Jamila Woods’ album, feel free to download it via this link.
