In preparation of its forthcoming African America album, The Black Opera expresses the horrors of an unjust society on the collective’s second single from the album, “Black Frankenstein.”
“‘Black Frankenstein’ is what black anger sounds like,” The Black Opera explained in a press release. “The anger of continuously seeing people that look like you get treated unjustly and murdered, solely because of how they look. Then when we react to the injustice, we get called a monster.”
African America is the follow-up to the collective’s lauded 2014 release, The Great Year, and is expected to arrive on November 11. Check out the new track above.
