Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Gabriel Teodros, host of EARLY on KEXP, is "I Am (feat. India.Arie)" by Beautiful Chorus, a 2021 self-released single.
Beautiful Chorus is a group that truly lives up to its name. The project was launched in 2021 by Alexandra Love, previous vocalist for Solillaquists of Sound and Chakra Khan. With Beautiful Chorus, she aimed to "spread a harmony-infused soundscape of interconnectedness, ease, and joy," a goal they've surely surpassed with their beautiful, introspective pieces.
Today's Song of the Day pairs them with the Grammy Award-winning R&B artist India.Arie. On their YouTue page, the state, "this song is about reaching the inner chamber of our selves, summoning forth all we desire, and deeply realizing that we have all we need and are all we desire to be."
