Recorded inside a geodome at Upstate New York's The Outlier Inn, Gently Powerful is a live reimagining of Anna Wise's debut solo LP, Live As If It Were Forever. Almost exactly one year to the date of its release, Anna and some of her closest collaborators safely gathered to celebrate Live As If It Were Forever with these intimate live recordings.
All tracks on Gently Powerful feature performances by Anna Wise (vocals, loops), Jon Bap (Drums, Vocals, Samples, Guitar), Joy Morales (Keys, Synthesizer, Vocals) and Juuwah (Bass), recorded and mixed by Steve Vealey, and mastered by Kevin Moo. The arrangements heard on these recordings were originally conceptualized as part of Re/Birth, Wise’s February 2020 residency in Los Angeles produced in partnership with Gxrlschool.

they picked the cotton that saved the world. that picked cotton propelled u.s. economy; a unique capitalist setup. (though anglo saxon colonizers are not unique.) so many pop stars and hip hop billboard mainstays trumpet u.s. capitalism ad nauseam; or escapism & distraction.
