'working class musicians' from the new album the color of rain by Aja Monet feels like both a poem and a lived reflection on labour, artistry and presence. Anchored by the repeated chant of 'working class musicians' Aja builds rhythm through repetition, giving the phrase weight like both protest and prayer. Over the deep pull of double bass and steady claps of percussion, the track carries a raw, almost ceremonial pulse that feels transportive, evoking the atmosphere of a smoky underground jazz club from another era - intimate, dimly lit and full of lived stories. Her spoken-word delivery moves with intention and gravity, painting the unseen realities of musicians working night shifts through clubs and bars. Rooted in emotional honesty and sharp poetic instinct, 'working class musicians' feels deeply human, honouring both struggle, presence and the sacred act of creation.
