Jamila Woods - Water Made Us (Arctic Swirl Vinyl)

On her expansive third album, Water Made Us, Chicago musician and poet Jamila Woods shines anew as she asks the question, what does it mean to fully surrender into love? Across Water Made Us, Jamila embraces new genres, playful melodies, and hypnotizing wordplay, as she wades through the exhilarating tumult of love's wreckage and refuge. It is self-revelatory in an entirely new way, making this her most personal album yet.

Water Made Us reminds us that at its best love is a warm, still ocean. Deep, shimmering, and endless in its wonder. And at its worst love can be a riptide that takes us so far away from ourselves we can hardly find our way back, hardly even remember how to swim. And yet Jamila surrenders to this surf, because maybe even the most painful endings can in fact be an invitation that calls her back home, back to shore, back to herself. The album includes singles "Tiny Garden", "Boomerang", and Good News".
