Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The result is an object lesson in collaborative activism, with Staples tilting away from Sixties R&B formalism but doubling down on topicality.", "The real draw is her lyricism: Staples channels America’s restless energy into politically charged gems like 'Build a Bridge' and 'We Go High.'", "A singer of remarkable power and expression, Staples essentially rewrites these songs simply by singing them, imbuing each line with fine gradients of emotion and authority. She emerges as the active agent in the project...", "On BLACK, Staples and Tweedy instead channel their unease with our ongoing state of unrest, employing mostly minimalist funk and refreshingly frank language."
Additional InformationThe soul and gospel icon teams with Jeff Tweedy again for an album that addresses troubled times with love and strength.
