Pink Siifu: BLACK'!ANTIQUE
Briefly

In his fourth studio album BLACK'!ANTIQUE, Pink Siifu showcases a profound celebration of Black creativity and cultural identity. The album features a closing narration from Big Rube that emphasizes the divinely unique nature of Black people and their growing value. Siifu's sound continues to evolve, merging various musical styles like neo-soul, funk, and punk, while collaborating with frequent partners. The album embodies a community spirit, demonstrating Siifu's versatility as he navigates between abrasive and soothing tones over rich production, creating a unique musical landscape.
When we were created, there was no mold/Just original style, with original soul.
My people are original and divinely unique, and our value will keep rising, like some Black antiques.
BLACK'!ANTIQUE continues to fulfill the prophecy of remaining divinely unique: This is Siifu at his boldest, oscillating from abrasive to soothing on a whim.
Following in the community-built vein of Gumbo, BLACK'!ANTIQUE feels akin to a rambunctious family affair.
