Blackity Black Black Is Beautiful is the very first solo record by Fay Victor, whose 30-year-long music career has covered everything from House, New Music, Jazz (Blues) and Free Improvisation. Her deep history with dance music, her genreless output, and her lived experience as a Black woman in the world shaped the brand new process she used to create this prismatic album which touches on all the decades of her life like diary snapshots. It's a mesmerizing collection of composed work that could only be made by an extraordinary improviser. With Mavin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up" as a template, Fay started thinking about how her solo album might unfold. She sang, played keyboards, added textures and further dimensions with no other humans, without electronics. That was her process. Thoroughly creative, composed with music and words straight from her spirit.1. Black Women's Music2. Breezy Point Ain't Breezy3. Vocal Layer of Pandemic Doom (Dedicated to All the Loved Ones We've Lost)4. Scared To Be Happy5. Governorship/Senate (For Stacey Abrams)6. How Can You Do It?7. I Will Be Erased8. Signs (A Question For Sages Everywhere)9. Trust The Universe (Dedicated to Sun Ra)
