this queer black woman explores spirituality & love in groovy mixtape
In a word, Zyla Sol is magical. A cosmic soul and the head creative consultant at Harvard University’s Hip-Hop Archive, the multi-talented artist channels the psychedelia of the 1970s and the neo-soul of now before hurling it into her own stratosphere of future-funk and old-school beats. Zyla’s blissed-out mixtape “Yazyla Solstice” is a passionate musical diary, the Smith graduate waxes poetic about her experiences and interactions living in Boston as a queer black woman. “The goal of my work was to shed light on hidden truths and spread positivity,” Zyla tells AFROPUNK.
