If you're curious about how whiteness operates unchecked, look no further than Music City, USA.
Almost 20 years of data shows how the country music industry excludes and devalues BIPOC artists (a thread) ⬇️

With a pathway toward Grammy consideration in either direction, the Recording Academy has created more opportunity in country music — including for Black artists. "And that’s what we’ve been fighting for all along.” @AndreaWillWrite

"With his raised eyebrows and slight chuckle, Shaboozey didn’t just cast doubt on country music’s century-old fiction. He also acknowledged the Black creatives who will never stand at the front of a stage or sing into a mic—but who are important, and influential, all the same."

My latest for @Tennessean, on @ShaboozeysJeans, his nod to Lesley Riddle, and his place as a Black artist in country music:

Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. cbc.ca/news/politics/murray-…

Another storming foray into audiovisual newness for you! A book packed with original thought on the cultural context in which music videos are produced and the web of intertextuality that drives contemporary audiovisual culture. Just what we all need!

So grateful to have this opportunity to write about representation on Canadian country radio for Front Porch Music. I did things a little differently this time around and used daily logs instead of aggregated data and friend... things ain't right round here. 🤠

The topic of representation on Canadian country radio has been huge this year. Where are we at now? Spoiler ... Things still ain’t right round here. @Data_Jada presents, and walks us through the data. See the data for yourself >>> frontporchmusic.ca/gender-ra…
