In addition to music videos for his singles McKinley released what he dubbed, a 'Kitchen Table session' for each of his previous tracks. Inspired by Carrie Mae Weems’ seminal photo collection, The Kitchen Tables Series – a collection known for exploring the self in collective experiences at a kitchen table and a landmark in Black representation in American fine art.
Beloved! Paradise! Jazz!? will mark Dixon's first album for City Slang Records, but will follow 2021's For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her. The album will feature contributions from Hanif Abdurraqib, Teller Bank$, Alfred., Ghais Guevara, Anjimile and Seline Haze.
