around Black History Month (#BlackHistoryMonth), I wanted to put together a playlist of songs from the best Black British albums of the past twenty years. These are the acclaimed albums that have highlighted some of the most extraordinary artists of our time. These modern icons whose albums will go down in music history. I am writing a few more features around Black History Month. Delving more into this year in music, alongside a feature around Beyoncé and her upcoming concert film. I am also going to spend some time saluting great Black British talent coming through. Here, I have assorted an extensive playlist with a prime cut from albums released in the past two decades from some exceptional Black British talent. I may have missed some important artists. If anyone does notice any, I will definitely add them to the playlist. With modern British leaders like Little Simz and Stormzy inspiring the next generation, let’s hope that the industry reacts to this. In the past, there have been surveys and findings that show Black creators have been discriminated against or find they need to change their appearance to get noticed. This is something that happens today! Something that impacts even more Black women. To celebrate the extraordinary Black British talent we have in this country, I am pleased to share a playlist of some truly amazing songs – from some world-class albums. These are artists that simply…
CAN’T be ignored.
