the color of rain
aja monet · Spoken Word / Jazz
“Al-ma'sat laysat anna the color of rain lan yusma' kafiya, bal anna alladhina yahtajunahu akthar tadarrabu ala takhattii kull ma yatul akthar min lazma.”
Aja Monet taktub ka'annaha hamalat kulla satr fi jasadiha li-asharat sineen qabla an tutliquh, wa the color of rain yuthbit annaha tantami ila silsilat Sonia Sanchez wa Jayne Cortez, laysa ila iqtisad qawa'im al-tashghil allati lan ta'rif maatafal biha. Al-kuntrabas yamshi bati'an, al-saksifon yatanaffas hawla maqati'iha, wa sawtuha yaj'al al-hams yadrub aqwa min mu'zam al-rabbarah al-sariikheen. Al-mushkila laysat al-fan, bal sidam al-shakl: tasjeel mukhlis lil-iqaa' wal-samt yasdur fi alam yatruk fihi al-mustamie al-mutawassit ba'd 27 thaaniya. Ba'd al-aghani tattaki' kathiran ala nafs al-iqaa' alladhi atqanat-hu fi 2023. Lakin hina tahbit satrun an al-huzn al-musta'mar, al-fada' alladhi tabniih haqiqi. Hadha al-album sa-yustashhad bihi fi al-qa'aat al-jami'iya tawilan ba'd an tansaah al-khwarizmiyya.
Aja Monet wahida min al-shu'ara' al-qala'il alladhina yahmil sawtuhun al-musajjal kamil thiql hudurihinn al-mubashir. Al-firqa tu'amil iqaa'aha ka-aalat rabi'a.
The format is fighting the artist
Some cadences repeat
Production occasionally over-smooths
