As we observe Black History Month, we have considered how best to use our platform to amplify diverse voices. While we initially planned to spotlight a few creators this month, we recognize that meaningful support should extend beyond a designated period.
Visibility and recognition should be continuous, and contributions of artists from diverse communities merit ongoing attention and engagement. Creative industries thrive when a variety of perspectives are acknowledged and appreciated. With this in mind, we are committing to showcasing the releases of several artists each month to foster broader representation and promote the discovery of and support for the many artists influencing today’s cultural landscape.
This month, we are excited to highlight a selection of Black artists, from rising talents to established creators, who bring unique perspectives and powerful storytelling to their music.
/// Pink Siifu – BLACK’!ANTIQUE (Roc Nation)
Alabama’s genre-defying Pink Siifu is back, bringing raw energy and deep introspection with BLACK’!ANTIQUE. More than just an album, this project is a world of its own—a vivid, immersive experience that captures every facet of his artistic spirit. Uncompromising, bold, and deeply original, this is Pink Siifu at his sharpest.
