Oh Pray Tell explore the “Poor Black Woman Blues” [Video]

Kootenay, BC-based trio Oh Pray Tell caught our ears with their brand of roots, gospel, acoustic R&B, folk, and experimental folklore. Comprising three talented ladies, Sally Titasey, Shayna-Adjowa Jones, and Betty Supple, the trio deliver the visuals for their new single “Poor Black Woman Blues.” The track is an emotionally powerful piece that highlights the struggles of the black woman and the internal resilience that continues to give her strength through the hardships and turmoil of the world.  Backed by a rustic guitar riff and live percussion, the trio deliver a resounding vocal performance ripe with profound lyrics and storytelling that tugs at the heartstrings.

Far from being a sob story, the lyrics also explore the power of reclamation and agency in a world where nothing is given, and the accompanying visuals bring the track to life with its motif-driven approach.
