BIRMINGHAM.

In 1960 Birmingham Alabama is the most segregated city in southern America, a brutal regime is in place denying blacks any rights. City Mayor, Bull Connor sets his dogs on the black community, he hoses them, and denies them all civil liberties. Churches are burned and men, women and children are brutalised, some are targeted and killed as a result of the colour of their skin.

1963 saw the civil rights fight start in this city, so chosen because of its troubles. One year later, following the great march on Washington and Luthers ‘I have a dream speech’ the civil rights act of 1964 was signed.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, 
but the silence of our friends.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

...............................................................................................................................................

How do you tell, your seven year old girl,
She aint going to funtown, today 
It’s the colour of your skin, she just aint getting in,
Not today, no how….

The dream that once you had, Forever shall be heard,
Let freedom ring, this day, From every city

If they take your name, sing it,
As the churches burn, there never was shame,
And as the crosses flame, white cotton Dixie,
Jailed for peace and prayer, Alabama 63,

If a man has not found, some – thing for which he is prepared to die,
Then he aint fit to live, this life we call our own, we call our own…
Gotta fight to call our own………

Thank god almighty, we are free at last…..free at last……

'Birmingham' - Tempus

Take action starts with a smooth opening and soft floating vocals by Jasmine Bee. With the focus on textures to immerse yourself in, there is gentle use of repetition with a jazz & folk feel.
Halfway through, the track takes a slight turn and becomes more of a soul jazz piece. Keeping the light touch but with the addition off horns and a change of pace.

Lyrics:

Whisper sweet nothings to me
and take what you like from me 
Take my soul, soul, soul from me 
dismiss and be mean to me 
Do what you like to me, me, me, 
I'll agree to play along with you

Take me like the wind in the air upclose to your skin
All over your skin, your, skin, your, skin (x2)

(Do what you like)

We both know we wanna take this elsewhere
so we can do this elsewhere - up there 
Sensations, contemplation, dispositioning the air tonight 
in the air tonight 

There's nothing we can do to stop this so suggestion to take action (x2)


Take Action - (Shabda ft Jasmine Bee)

Here again, All the wonders of men,
He breath’s his end,

He checked out of this world,
Every fathers prayer, Wasted ……..
Back and Forth, Driftwood on the sands….

John Finnemore - Therapist Sketch

Soulful, elegant and real, Jasmine Bee presents everything that she is through her melodic words and gentle head swaying music. Writing every-day inspired lyrics and singing from a young age, she has no qualms or reservations with her love for a down tempo laid back style of song and her passionate and graceful multi octave vocal range sits beautifully over each musical canvas as her art and way of expressing and with every song becomes closer to the music of her heart and revealing how it sounds within. Only working with carefully selected producers who give her the meaningful platform she needs to express truly and freely, and also allowing the space for her to grow as an artist, Jasmine has recently found her muse in one particular Adrian Cox who goes by the name of ‘Shabda’. An artist in his own right (Music Producer, Writer, Rap Artist [EQ], Musician, Vocalist) Shabda has consistently been a strong musical influence for Jasmine, enabling her to bring what she has to the table and building a strong and enticing sound together. The musical waves they touch on in their journey, with the dynamic and emotive voice of Jasmine Bee and the beautifully intricate productions from Shabda range from RnB, Soulful Orchestral, to down tempo, easy listening and they continue to delicately manoeuvre through these genres as they go forward
