“Can you think of any other pop musician who’s invited an array of grassroots activists to participate in these longform multimedia.
Album projects that she’s given us since 2013,” said Brooks. She pointed out that Beyoncé has also attempted to use her music to convey a tale about.
“Race and gender and sexuality in the context of the 400-year-plus history of African-American subjugation.” “She’s a fascinating artist because historical memory, as.
I often refer to it, and also the kind of impulse to be an archive of that historical memory, it’s just all over her work,” Brooks said. “And you just don’t see that with any other artist.”
