Blues Blood marks the first time Wilkins has included vocalists on an album, with each of the distinctive voices tapping into different aspects of heritage. Blues Blood feels airy and celestial, meant to be a soothing balm for anyone searching for peace, and for Black people trying to reconcile history in a country that tries to erase it. The album explores blues as a symbol of radical optimism in the face of adversity and blood as a symbol of all things ancestral and generational.
