Rhiannon Giddens has proudly declared herself our #banjoauntie. How lucky are we?As anticipated, Sunday night’s Super Bowl was an overstimulating American capitalist fever dream where the jock and cheerleader, ads pushed the advent of AI, Usher provided a sonic medley of nostalgia kernels atop impeccable dance moves, and Beyoncé announced a new album via a not-funny Verizon commercial.

They released their debut albumin 2019 and it’s been on regular listening rotation ever since. My favorites off that album are “I Knew I Could Fly” and “Black Myself.
