Sunday Open Thread with Mali Music

July 16, 2017 by Miranda 147 Comments

Good Morning POU!

Kortney Jamaal Pollard (born January 12, 1988), who performs under the stage name Mali Music, is an American recording artist, singer-songwriter and producer. His two independently released albums, The Coming (2008) and The 2econd Coming (2009), earned him much critical and underground acclaim. In 2011, he was the first inspirational artist to be a part of BET‘s acclaimed “Music Matters” series. Signed to RCA Records in 2013, Mali released the single “Beautiful” in anticipation of his first major album release Mali Is…, which was released on June 17, 2014 and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album.

Beautiful

Born on January 12, 1988 in Phoenix, Arizona, the mercurial Savannah, Georgia-based musician builds richly detailed, emotionally present neo-soul/hip-hop confections in the vein of Lauryn Hill, D’Angelo and Bilal, on a foundation of conventional gospel music. A multi-instrumentalist since the age of five, he counts Sam Cooke and Otis Redding as influences of his music.

    I am confused. If the goal is to have more [white] American babies, why bomb a fertility clinic in a wealthy [white] area?
