Moor Mother’s New Album is Coming in March

Moor Mother has unveiled a new album.

The Great Bailout is the ninth album that Moor Mother, otherwise known as Camae Ayewa, has released, and her third on ANTI- Records.

Across nine new tracks, she dissects the ugly realities of British colonialism. The record features production contributions from Lonnie Holley, Mary Lattimore, Vijay Ayer, Angel Bat Dawid, Sistazz of the Nitty Gritty, Aaron Dilloway, and more.

“Research is a major part of my work, and researching history—particularly African history, philosophy and time—is a major interest,” Moor Mother says of the music’s focus on the effects of British colonialism. “Europe and Africa have a very intimate and brutal relationship throughout time. I’m interested in exploring that relationship of colonialism and liberation, in this case in Great Britain.”

Alongside the release, Moor mother has shared “Guilty” featuring Lonnie Holley, Mary Lattimore, and Raia Was—a tender, atmospheric song.

The Great Bailout LP is scheduled for March 8 release. Meanwhile, you can stream “Guilty” in full below and pre-order here.
