On its new single, “Fly Again,” the musically eclectic and lyrically poetic ensemble The Sounds of Blackness assures us that yes, things are going to get better.
Whether you are frustrated or confused, whether you have lost friends, family or money, just shake off your heavy burdens, Jamecia Bennett declares breathlessly like a singing evangelist. “Spread your wings and fly…you will rise again.” The choir assents with alternately soaring, pizzicato and cascading harmonies.
The new single is as expansive, inspirational and uplifting as its title suggests.

Plagiarism!?
In 2006, I produced inspirational music projects with YuLanda Lunn and Terrence Frierson, from Sounds of Blackness.
One of my songs I composed, copyrighted, produced and published is entitled, “Let Me Fly Again, 3:49 (c).”
My concerns are that Sounds of Blackness have plagiarized my work with their new song entitled
“Fly Again 3:48,” featuring Jamecia Bennet on Malaco Records Label, in Jackson, Mississippi.
