BROWN SUGAR [Rolling Stones cover]

Songs are magical. Songs are powerful. 
Some you hate and some you love but 
Music will save your life. It has mine.

I am kicking off the forthcoming releases of naeama with a theme song of sorts. I am no stranger to controversy and censorship-less by choice or design, but by reaction. I have written and performed, what the dominant culture considers, controversial. For years, while performing with Soma Mestizo. "‘Strange Fruit’ was a regular on our set list. 

So, i reached down into the trash can of canceled art and pulled out…

BROWN SUGAR. A song that the Rolling Stones decided to retire, due to the racialized lyrics. A song that has been throughout my life, a disturbing soundtrack, whether I wanted it to or not. From being a child playing with the zipper on the Andy Warhol designed album cover; to being cat called by strangers while crossing bridges; to many inter-racial marriage celebrations, where I gave the brown bride a quizzical look asking, “are you sure this is your theme song”; to the way it lingered in the background as I wrote my first play, Saffronia. I loved the song, hated it and then loved it, again. 

Crisscrossing the us of a during various trips, this beloved song of americans would be played at county fairs, festivals, bars, etc…Everyone-everyone singing the chorus but seemingly not knowing, understanding, or caring about the poignancy of the lyrics. Regardless of how the lyrics were inspired or came to be, it is a song that brazenly puts American history, its racialized and sexualized story; out there. 

I RECLAIM IT

And in the reclaiming, I reframe it from my perspective and lived experience. Music and vocals by yours truly and mix by #2020K, mastered by Strollo Sound. It slaps and it crushes. The lyrics are front and center, so as to not be hidden by a catchy riff and the style is dubby. Dubby as a tribute to my teenage radio reggae dub dj pen pal who sent me cassettes on a weekly basis, because this music gave me life. Thank You Friend!!!

Thank you to the crew who have been traveling on this journey with me: Brooke Schooles, Rob Long, Rodney Trice and Geña. Thank you to Dog Ranch PR.

What is LOVE?
Can you trust it? Can you trust yourself? 
How many forms of LOVE are there and how many do you/we engage?
do you share beyond romantic, extending out to family, chosen family, community, nature, flora, fauna...
How many forms of LOVE are you? 

When I do fall in love, I write poems of wild declarations and have only learned that poems are disliked, unless of course, they become a song.

I leave the lyrical gushing of romance and the many declarations of independence in the form of "i don't need you" songs, to the Pop stars. These songs of mine are philosophical inquiries; desires and failures laid bare on the open rocks, where the tide of the oceans slap. I have needed you, but why? Do you need me? Want, Need, and all the in between, confuses me. I've become pretzel, I've become flower, I've become doormat, I've become savior.

At this ripe age, I no longer want and I no longer need what I thought I did, and continue to explore the many expressions of this thing called LOVE. But what I do know, LIBERATION without LOVE will surely fail in the embers of fatigue, disappointments and nervous system burn outs.

May you be held. May you hold.
