R&B star Alicia Keys continues to be a relevant voice in both the black lives matter movement as well as the corona virus pandemic. Not only is she using her social media platform to share inspiring, informative information, but she is also releasing songs and videos that speak to the moment.
Her latest contribution is “Perfect Way To Die”; both song and video were shared at the end of June. This powerful record and its associated visual shines light on the countless Black Americans that have died at the hands of law enforcement.

The organizers of the annual Austin City Limits Music Festival have just announced that they are cancelling the 2020 staging of the event. See below a statement that was shared on July 1st.
Austin City Limits Music Festival will no longer take place in 2020. We would have loved to put on another memorable show this year, however, with the uncertainty surrounding the current situation in Texas, this decision is the only responsible solution. The health and safety of our fans, artists, partners, staff and the entire Austin community remains our highest priority.
We will return to Zilker Park on October 1-3 and October 8-10, 2021 to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. We encourage fans who have already purchased tickets to hold on to them to lock in access to next year’s festival at 2019 prices. Refunds will be made available for fans who purchased directly through the festival and cannot attend next year’s dates. All current ticket holders will receive an email from Front Gate Tickets shortly with information on both options.
ACL Fest has always been rooted in tradition, our common love of live music, and our community. This includes supporting Austin Parks Foundation for the past 15 years to improve parks and green spaces across the city. Take this time to maintain your personal health and wellness by visiting www dot austinparks dot org to learn how you can safely enjoy and support parks in our area, and please continue to follow the advice of local officials, look out for each other, and stay safe.

Iconic soul artist Nina Simone once said that every musicians’ art should reflect the times they’re living in; John Legend‘s song and video, “Never Break,” does just that.
The track is featured on Legend‘s just released album titled “Bigger Love.” The significance of “Never Break” is that it speaks to the current situation in the United States of America, specifically to the fight for racial equality. The very powerful video shows us that though we as Africans have come along way in this struggle, we still have a very long way to go.
