Musical February : Day 8
I’m a big music fan so thought it might be nice to take part in Bee’s ” Love is in Da Blog” Challenge for the month of February.
Today’s prompt is a love song from a new artist (2022/23). So how about King Isis?
Back in November, the LA-based songwriter captivated us with their debut single 4leaf clover —a raw acoustic ballad about the purgatory of waiting for someone who’s giving you nothing at all. Its stripped down arrangement highlights the incredible emotional range of King Isis’ voice, reaching from guttural lows to desperate highs.
Music has been in King Isis’ blood for generations. They were classically trained on a piano passed down from their great-great-grandmother Omega King, who was one of the first Black opera singers in Chicago. As time went on, Isis drifted away from the rigid confines of their classical training and began to explore new worlds of counterculture music.
On that note, anyone expecting another ballad for single number two should lower the volume before hitting play because King Isis is planning on turning up the energy in 2023.
“Love Is In Da Blog” Rules/suggestions
- Join in! No matter where, when and with what. You missed the first day or week? Don’t worry. Just jump in when it suits you.
- Send us the link! My blog is public again, so ping-backs work. A ping-back is a link from one WP blog to another. If you blog on another platform, please leave your link in the comments.
- Tag your post either with “Love Is In Da Blog” or “LoIsInDaBl” or “Love Is In Da Blog 23” or #LoIsInDaBl23. You can also use these as hashtags for Twitter and other Social Networks to give your post more exposure.
- No matter which music the prompt favours, you create with it whatever you please and whatever length you please (no pun intended 😉 ) as long as it is about “LOVE.”
- I post the prompt post the day before, so you have some time to make up your mind and create your post. There won’t be two different posts, and I hope it’s not too confusing.
- If you like, use this picture for your readers to find the posts.
