Jamila Woods Announces New Album Water Made Us

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Chicago poet and musician Jamila Woods is back with her first album since 2019. Water Made Us, a successor to LEGACY! LEGACY!, is set to arrive October 13 via Jagjaguwar. Lead single “Tiny Garden” features duendita and was produced by Wynne Bennett. The track is a subdued, beautiful hip-hop instrumentation with Woods ruminating about commitment atop the arrangement. “Tiny Garden” and its accompanying video (directed by Woods herself) work across themes of water, and the album’s title references a beloved quote from Toni Morrison, in which the Ohio author said: “All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was.”
