Thoughts:
This is the second album from Richmond, VA singer-songwriter Prass. I was drawn to this album by the anthemic “Sisters” which will certainly make my end of year favorite songs list. But the rest of the album is meh, a collection of downtempo tracks in a smooth R&B style. That is not to deny it is a technically proficient recording with lyrics focused on protest and solidarity in the age of Trump, but it’s just not a style that resonates with me.
