This week audiences will get to check out full opera recordings, world premiere recordings, and new solo albums by some of the great artists. Here is a look!

They Still Want to Kill US

Bright Shiny Things in partnership with composer/violinist/activist Daniel Bernard Roumain, award-winning mezzo-soprano and activist, J’Nai Bridges, and Sozo Creative releases a digital single and video of DBR’s “They Still Want to Kill Us,” an aria sung by Bridges, to mark the anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

The video features performances by Bridges and Roumain intercut with archival film footage and images telling the story of the Massacre in an ominous shorthand. All proceeds from the audio and video sales of this release will be donated to Castle of Our Skins.
