7 Black Women Musicians To Fall In Love With

Black culture is rooted in rhythm, movement, and soulful sounds that have warmed hearts for decades. From Etta James to Lauryn Hill, Black women have given the world some of the best tunes. Jazz, smooth Motown sounds, and R&B have permeated every corner of America with the perfect songs for every mood.

For that reason, it only makes sense to give props to Black women in music for your Black History Month Soundtrack!

Life moves so fast sometimes and you don’t get to let it all soak in. I’ve made so many mistakes. I’ve also made so many beautiful things. Taking a moment now to honor the woman I hope I’m becoming. One of Integrity. Wisdom. Beauty. And most importantly JOY. I want to smile more this year.: Kevin Chambers @flashfrequency
