The 4th album by Zaimah, THE BLACK SWAN, is an alarm clock at a time when music is designed to keep you asleep. With Impacting lyrics, persuasive arguments, within a melodic and beat thumping series of songs, you are challenged to not love this album. THE BLACK SWAN is an argument for consciousness in popular culture. And Zaimah is proving why we need substance so very much, now more than ever. Not just any kind of substance, more specifically. We need her particular brand of unboxed and captivating sound blended with reflective lessons.
