Aramide "I attended singer's album listening session, and I didn't die from wokeness"


As I walked away from the album listening, my earlier apprehension had been replaced by a warm glow in my heart, and for a very long time, I admitted that this was a surprise. Aramide’s ‘unwoke’ album surprised me. I didn’t get attacked and killed by wokeness.


I hate being woke. The concept of wokeness annoys me in its entirety, and so I always seek to avoid it.
The phenomenon of being woke is a cultural push to challenge problematic norms, systemic injustices and the overall status quo through complete awareness. Being woke refers to a person being aware of the theoretical ins and outs of the world they inhabit. Becoming woke, or staying woke, is the acknowledgment that everything we’ve been taught is a lie (kind of/mostly).
These days on social media, it is fashionable to be woke. Twitter throws wokeness your way at every turn, with comments and 140-character releases on just about every topic being a sceptical one.

On the surface, Aramide appears to be a ‘woke’ music specialist. She owns that guitar, has a great voice, a calm personality that hints at all the depth of creativity that she possesses and wants to hit you with. You immediately prepare your mind to be elevated, and stimulated by the wokeness.
Her debut album, is titled “Suitcase”, a very woke name for an album. How did we get to this? And why did the album art appear to be woke?
Check out the album art below, and tell me if it isn’t woke.
