Poppy Ajudha unveils moving new single "Black Joy. Black Peace. Black Justice."

Ajudha's latest outing "Black Joy. Black Peace. Black Justice" was written during lockdown, and is her first new single since releasing "Strong Womxn" in April.

She says of her new single, ""Black Joy. Black Peace. Black Justice." is a song dedicated to the movement for racial equality. I hadn’t written much during lockdown, but when the protests began, they brought a wave of emotion and I wrote it in those weeks that we took to the streets of London. I guess I was trying to make sense of all the chaos, and create something positive for the community, a protest song that was honest and brooding. "

Proceeds made from her new single will be donated to Black Minds Matter UK.

Ajudha adds, "It was really important to me to keep the message clear, and to not just comment but use the song to contribute to aims of the movement. So I have donated all profits from the song or live session to Black Minds Matter, an organisation that seeks to promote positive mental health within the black community. I hope this song is part of something bigger, that grows and rises into a beautiful world for generations to come."

As well as releasing "Strong Womxn" this year, Ajudha teamed up with Mahalia on "Low Ride", featured on Moses Boyd's "Shades of You", and in July she released a cover of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man".
