Don't Take It Away

The interlude “Don’t Take It Away” pays tribute to the often-nameless BlackFem voices found in many forms of popular music but especially electronic dance music, where we find a long history of integrally using BlackFem singing voices without attributing any credit to the vocalists, whether it’s through session work or sampling. This centrality of the disembodied BlackFem singing voice also amplifies the deep connections between R&B and electronic dance music, especially house and techno.
