Jamila Woods has announced her third album, Water Made Us, which is out October 13 via Jagjaguwar. The new record marks her first project since 2019’s critically acclaimed LEGACY! LEGACY!. It was co-executive produced by Chris McClenney and Jamila Woods, and features Saba, duendita, and Peter CottonTale.
To celebrate the announcement, Woods has unveiled the duendita-assisted track “Tiny Garden,” which was produced by Wynne Bennett. The single arrives with a self-directed video, and Woods offered some thoughts on the visual: “‘Tiny Garden’ is a song about the way my heart works, the slow and steady way I love. In my directorial debut I wanted to create a visual representation of how I often feel in relationships, like I’m having huge feelings that I end up expressing in small specific ways.
“The video takes place across two landscapes, the reality of a shared apartment at the tail end of winter and an imagined ‘heartspace’ where everything is lush and green. I worked with my friend and frequent collaborator Po Chop on the choreography, so that the movement becomes the key to merging these two worlds—everywhere I dance, something is watered, something grows.”
