SPECIAL CITRUS CITY REISSUE / CCR114

Originally released April 22, 2020

¡ ALL DIGITAL PROCEEDS GOING TO NIECY BLUES. DIRECTLY SUPPORT THEM ON BANDCAMP !

"Stereotypes of super-human strength, coldness, erratic anger, and the ability to hold up a community grip Black womanhood. Generally, stereotypes are based in some truth. But what are the repercussions of being seen as super-human? Are Black women not afforded the space to be human? To be vulnerable?

Charleston-based musician Niecy Blues emphasizes the strength in vulnerability and power with her latest EP CRY, self-released on April 22, and now available on Bandcamp. Niecy self-produced the EP in collaboration with partner and frequent collaborator Khari, also known as Contour. In this release, she confesses the link between pain and healing in just three songs. She described crying as a way to “let out” emotions that bottle up for her when practicing healing.

“For me, I’ve noticed that [crying] kinda forces that cap to open,” she said. “I fill up for so long and need to release. I realized [when starting this project] that I had not cried. I was like ‘why haven’t I cried?’ I’ve been through so much. I have this idea that has been given to me by society. Black women are strong. [We] hold up the community and this and that. I was like, ‘You know what? Imma fucking cry.’” " - Chanell Noise for Mainline Zine
