Poppy Ajudha's album "Patience" is a soulful and reflective journey through the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. With her smooth and emotive vocals, Ajudha weaves together a range of musical influences, from jazz and R&B to hip-hop and electronic beats.
The album's opening track, "Black Joy. Black Peace. Black Justice.", sets the tone for the rest of the record, with its powerful message of resilience and hope in the face of systemic oppression. From there, Ajudha explores the ups and downs of relationships, from the yearning ballad "Watermelon Man" to the bittersweet breakup anthem "Spilling into You".
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Weakness", which features a haunting piano melody and Ajudha's vulnerable vocals as she grapples with her own shortcomings and insecurities. The track "White Water" also stands out, with its dreamy synth sounds and lyrics that touch on themes of self-acceptance and inner peace.
