For those who had to go to school with a comb to make sure their bang was sitting right.
Those who knew the spaghetti strap went over the polo.
Those who had to go to school with their hair wrapped and unwrap it on the bus or in the school bathroom.
Those who were overdue for a perm and had to sport the stiff ponytail
Our hair, too, defied gravity.
Those who craved Pastries.
This one’s for you.
The best kind of R&B, and a sprinkle of Crunk&B.

The More You Look is a monthly tribute to sonic elements that have inspired Stemi’s artistry. From experimental electronic music to sounds of West Africa, this show aims to explore the interconnectedness of human experience primarily in a black culture context. Each episode includes voice recordings from those within her community in correlation to the theme of each episode. Through these voices and sonic transmissions, The More You Look aims to connect more synapses in the web collective consciousness.
