on ‘Black Gold’

Thursday Feb 2, 2012 – by Britni Danielle

Grammy winner jazz musician Esperanza Spalding is back with another fabulous album and another dope single, “Black Gold.”

Featuring soul singer Alegebra Blesset, “Black Gold” is an inspirational tune that speaks of the storied history of Africans in the diaspora. Just in time for Black History Month, Algebra sings of ancient and powerful Africa kings and queens and reminds the youth that they are “black gold.”

“Black Gold” is the lead track from Spalding’s latest album, Radio Music Society, due out March 20.
