Esperanza Spalding will soon be dropping her next album RADIO MUSIC SOCIETY. Check out the brand new short film for the single, “Black Gold” featuring Algebra Blesset above…
 
Official words from Ms. Spalding:

“This song is singing to our African American heritage before slavery. Over the decades, so much of the strength in the African American community has seeded from resistance and endurance. I wanted to address the part of our heritage spanning back to pre-colonial Africa and the elements of Black pride that draw from our connection to our ancestors in their own land. I particularly wanted to create something that spoke to young boys.”
