Jamila Woods - ZORA Lyrics

RIP miss zora hulston

Luv how they rocking out in the library let's go jam jam

"On her 2016 debut Heavn, musician, teacher and activist Jamila Woods crafted an ode to her home town of Chicago, and a new kind of protest music. Her contemplative, modern style of soul is built both for marching, and for recuperation, when you need to recover from the fight."

Just heard this song on the radio. One spin is definitely not enough, so here I am!

This bookworm also likes the fact that the song is being performed in a library.

Superb track. Wow.

I'm so excited to see you play in Asheville on Feb.3. Its a big day for me, ( my fathers death anniversary.. and his mothers bday.. plus the day I started my business), and I get to see Raphael Saadiq play!!! And then I find out you are going to play.. !! This is going to be FIRE! 🔥 👑🎶 Queen, bless you for uplifting and being light!!

I think this will be my favorite song of 2019

Holy shit this is amazing

my name is Zora

I wanna go on a date!

Just sounds like Erika badu lite

I'd like to think the title is a Zelda reference, but we know there's like a 98% chance of that being wrong, and me 100% being an idot.

Anyway, I love the direction she's going in. Full on Psyche Rock-Soul Fusion. I'm getting some Massive Attack & Bonobo vibes here and I adore it. .

I love the chords on that intro, too. It's like, how can we make that Steely Dan shit even better? Black Girl Magic...

What a simple, awesome music video. Her energy is, like, the size of the entire planet.

Boy oh boy😍🤗

Favorite song off the album😍😍😍

Feelin it. Thank you Double J

The One and Only Jamila Woods.

I love that this video was shot in a library.... and very cool vibe.

Superb!!!

Maravilhosa !!

FM802のヘビーローテーションで知ったけどめっちゃいい

Her voice is amazing , as soothing as a pillow...She can take things off your mind, make you not wanna weep and willow...Her style is classy, with a little touch of urban, listen to her music your enthusiasm you won't be curbing !!!!

Band has an NPG vibe. Love it.

my heart just did a couple backflips - this song is otherwordly.

This song makes me feel invincible😍

I love this videooo. I keep streaming. 🙌🏾✨ Thank you Jamila for the education. ❤️📚

Love your vibe! I share your music videos with my youth media students to prompt very profound and intriguing conversations about our world and representation. Thanks for your quality! XOX

Erykah.

Não entendo 1/3 do que ela diz nas músicas, mas essa voz cativante que ela tem me encanta a cada música que ouço. <3

I'm hearing Eryka Badu and Jill Scott influences. Thank goodness someone stepped up to the plate to keep authentic soul music alive in 2019. Hope you never sell out Jamila.

It's dropping two days before my birthday

Beautiful!!!!!!

givin me a fefe dobson feel w this one : )

Amazing in every way. Love that the incredible band is showcased in this one!

unf yeah this speaks to my love of zora neale hurston so hard

1:11 vs https://youtu.be/fkYrK8W3wlk?t=114 awwww yisssssss

lord tell me i'm not the only one who thought of parappa the rapper

yung vegemite I think of it every time I hear this song. The back and forth delivery ending with “everything, everything,” I’d be shocked if she hadn’t at least heard that song.

I googled Jamila Woods just to see what she's been up to lately and I ended up here. I'm very happy I just wanted to check up 👍🏽

felt the church vibes but why did she call the song zora?

Healing Through Inspiration Because of Zora Neale O’Hurston, I believe!

Ohhhhhh I love this direction 🔥

merci radio nova de m'avoir mené ici

jamila...i love u so much! come please korea.......🙏🏻

So much soul!!!!

This sounds like unchaining yourself...

Her entrance, at the beginning, is the epitome of commanding presence! 🙌🏾

RRRRRRIIIIGGGGHHHHHTTTTTT I FELT THAT!!!

Too much of a clone for me to jump on the bandwagon. Before she even started singing.. I knew she'd sound just like Badu.

Well dont listen 🤷🏾

@GodBodyRj Fair point

God forbid black women in the music industry have similar sounds or be inspired by one another. lmao

I love your music. Thank you for being YOU!

Beautiful 😍

Loving every second💜💜💜💜

CCC represent!!!

Wow, that's a different look/sound. I think I like it.

I can't believe my late ass just saw this, it came out while I was in school ,so I didn't even know! OMG Jamila I can't believe after so long of a wait your finally releasing new music, I wish I could really meet you so I could express to you personally how much your music from Heavn has impacted me, when my great grandfather died, and people whom I thought were closest of friends ended up being fake as hell, I felt as if I had no one, like I could trust no one yet at the same time I felt like it was my fault everything had happened. Your music was there. I found you because YouTube recommended it to me, and Ive been hooked to it ever since, my great grandfather died after I'd found your music, so before, when I listened to lately, I knew the feeling you were expressing, and could feel the emotion, but for some reason the experience of listening to it again after having to look at the bodies of both dead loved one and a dead relationship (metaphorically although I'm sure you'd understand (why am I specifying it's not like you'll see this lol) I could truly relate to the words you sang, and I cried hot tears to lately, and lonely. Your music is therapeutic. Your beautiful strong black woman and I support and love what you do. Although I'll never understand what your life is like fully, since I am not black, or a woman, I am of color, Dominican and Puerto Rican, and have a single mother, so I know what it's like being treated differently, or being called something homophobic or racist, and so your music is just so healthy for me, I can listen to your album on repeat. I hope one day I can see you in person although I'm only fifteen, and I know your going to go places beyond where you are now. I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Moving Alchemy.
