Tenesha the Wordsmith, who came to the fore on On The Corner’s 2018 release Black Noise 2084, has delivered a hard-cutting, gut-wrenching, and extremely moving spoken word album produced by Khalab that brings together different lines of black music – folkloric, jazz, and electronic dance – into an afro-futurist narrative with thunderous results. Peacocks and Other Savage Beasts, lays bare difficult truths and projects the stories of hidden voices, with a warm and heartfelt delivery that envelops the soul.
