musicians and poets are essential workers.
[this song is dedicated to all the working class musicians whose paths i’ve crossed struggling against nightclub capitalism, music festival plantations, and not-so-a-live nation, ticket master exploitation. may we deepen our relationships to the international community of working class people and labor movements.

a balm, an anthem, a gift!!!! "say it with your chest" felt like a heart opener, a welcoming of all that is here, a grounding and a gentle nudge towards feeling, "elsewhere" - we are each other's elsewhere made me feel the joy, belonging and weep, "working class musicians" had me chanting because the rent IS TOO HIGH & I felt "i came to the poem" like a prayer. "love is a choosing" hit me at heart & " every media minute"caught me very off guard. thank you <3

The first single from Aja Monet’s new project, ‘the color of rain’, is ‘elsewhere’, featuring Georgia Anne Muldrow and Meshell Ndegeocello, and it’s wildly luminous, stop what you’re doing, splendid. If you haven’t met Aja’s work yet, this is a gorgeous doorway. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
[most folks have no idea what we do with our art because we glorify people and aesthetics more than we do the pursuit and our values. product more than process. and so i want to give thanks for the process of making this incredible new album. to all the collaborators who collectively poured into a vision i’m learning day by day to be obedient to

Delighted it’s here, Aja, you absolute wonder. I’ve just bought it, and I’m so excited to sink into it front-to-back, no interruptions. Thank you for being such a steady beacon, bright, brave, and beautiful you.
