Shad - "Storm (feat. Phoenix Pagliacci & George Elliott Clarke)" from the 2021 album TAO on Secret City.
When it comes to today's featured track, Toronto-based rapper Shad wrote on his Facebook, "Not even sure how to describe this next song." The powerful single draws inspiration from '70s icons "Marvin Gaye, The Last Poets, The Staples Singers, Sly Stone," and features collaborations with artist pHoenix Pagliacci, Canadian band Jane's Party, and former Parliamentary Poet Laureate of Canada, George Elliott Clarke.
"'Storm' is a feeling," he continued in a press release. "The feeling of a flood of memories. In the same way that a storm is the result of forces that gather strength quietly, often invisibly over time — this song is meant to hold a sense of the same sort of process as it relates to the storms in our lives and the storms in our world. The way storms can build up almost imperceptibly in our individual and collective unconscious. The song touches on a range of personal and political storms, both good and bad, through a range of voices, but most importantly it sees them all as inextricably tied."
