Since the release of her 2020 single "SULA (Paperback)," which followed 2019's LEGACY! LEGACY!, Jamila Woods has kept quiet outside of sharing a cover of Tracey Chapman's "Fast Car" and working on music with Miloe and Bonobo. But today she's returned with the new BLVK-produced single "Boundaries," which was recorded at Complex Studios in Los Angeles and features intricate Spanish-style guitar and a dopamine-spiking rhythm.
Woods revealed the song is "about the negotiation between private and shared space in a new relationship, the risk involved in letting someone get close enough to see your rough edges. I think a lot about the Prentice Hemphill quote, 'Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously.' The song is about learning the difference between erecting boundaries out of fear versus out of love.”
Listen to "Boundaries" below.
