AKINA DELIVERS “BROKE”

Fans of the one-of-a-kind, pure-voiced DIVA (in the good way), Akina Adderley, wait no longer for the KUTX Song of the Day!ย 

October 13 was a big day for the song, it was also the Single Spotlight on Austin 360: 
Austin360 On The Record: Singles Spotlight with Akina Adderley, Folk Uke, Willie Nelson, more…

Austin360 On The Record is a weekly roundup of new, recent and upcoming releases by local and Austin-associated recording artists.

SINGLES SPOTLIGHT- With the Nov. 3 election looming, our monthly singles spotlight not surprisingly includes several sociopolitically oriented songs.

Akina Adderley, โ€œBroke.โ€ Adderley gets lots of work locally as a backing singer โ€” she taped โ€œAustin City Limitsโ€ last week as part of Jackie Vensonโ€™s band โ€” and has recorded in recent years with the band Nori, but this is the first song sheโ€™s released under her own name since 2012. She says itโ€™s โ€œa call to action for people to acknowledge their complicity in systems of oppression and their moral responsibility to actively engage in the process of dismantling injustice.โ€ The single will be released Monday; hereโ€™s a live version of the tune from a 2019 Black Fret Concert on the Long Center lawn
