What’s more powerful than women celebrating the sacredness of womanhood through music?
This kind of intentional artistry has the power to uplift, empower, and connect women on a profound level — and it takes a special kind of artist to cut through the noise, reach out, and truly make you feel it.
Meet Memphis-born singer, songwriter, and multidisciplinary artist Talibah Safiya, whose soulful, blues-rooted sound bridges Black Southern traditions with modern storytelling.
Her single “BREAKOUT” just dropped, and plain and simple, it’s great.
It’s a powerful track, with a music video featuring seven women secure in their power, staring directly at the camera, dancing freely one by one, and rooting each other on—each woman underscoring the importance of intentional music.
“BREAKOUT” is a lyrical standout: poetic, deep, intentional, and a powerful anthem for women.
The top-line melody combined with the lyrical hook stops you dead in your tracks with “If god is somewhere living in control of this: she must be the moon, she must be the wind, she must be the stars. And if I am just a vessel for her evidence: I must be the wind, I must be the moon, I must be the stars."
This is paired with the repeating chorus refrain: “Breakout, don’t hold me. I can’t let the opposition control me.”
The production lays a groovy, playful, and minimal foundation for Safiyah’s vocal delivery, which lands pure, effortless, and ethereal. She sings with clarity throughout the track, as if on a mission to underscore just how divine and sacred women are.
It’s a call for women to lean into their divine femininity and feel supported by the music.
Safiyah’s artistry is on high alert after this single, and it’s clear that this is just the beginning for her.
