6 Black Femme DMV Artists You Should Know About
Keira
Keira’s use of multiple melodic lines provides an ethereal vibe to her music. Similar in sound to Victoria Monet and Ariana Grande, Keira uses a simple production to accompany her voice, with the violin playing a central role in her new song titled ‘Queendom.’
Bunny the Don
‘Testin’ Me’ by Bunny the Don consists of the artist rapping with passion over a well-produced drill beat. In the song, Bunny the Don illustrates how comfortable she is with being herself as she demonstrates an element of confidence in her flow.
Adwoa
Adwoa’s sound in the music scene is refreshing to hear, as there is a melange of afro beats sounds as well influences from a more electronic style of music. ‘Odo’ is a carefree jam that people can play in a variety of settings from a simple get together to a more lively party-type environment.
Tsola
Tsola’s ‘Changes’ is a soft slow jam that has lyrics that captures the attention of listeners as soon as it begins. The rhythmical drums in the production of the song work as a great accompaniment to her angelic vocals.
Jimani Luv
Jimani Luv’s song ‘Problems’ highlights her thoughts and ruminations about a lover of hers. With the use of ‘smooth runs’ and a simple backtrack, Jimani touches hearts and allows her many listeners to resonate with her experiences.
Gabriella
Gabriella’s ‘Break You Off’ is one of her many songs in which she exemplifies her ability to produce a new and never seen before style of neo-soul or Alternative R&B. ‘So Gone,’ however, illustrates her versatility in singing different genres of music - this song is a far more ‘hyped up’ version of her other pieces, and demonstrates that Gabriella is more than comfortable being a musical talent in the electronic genre as well.
