State Of British Black Music

 

Hinda Hicks

I think that the current climate for British black music is an exciting one. With the advent of outlets such as the U Channel, it has given  fresh, new scope and optimism for the young talent to filter through. There is also a positive and creative burst of new energy beginning to emerge within the British black music scene. There are new ideas, new concepts, and a new founded pride to be UK coming through the scene. I also think that it is encouraging to see more people getting involved behind the scenes, and learning about the mechanics of the industry & how it works. More importantly, exploring and refining how  they can make it work for them. This can only be healthy for the future development and prosperity of the scene as a whole. This is what it's all about at the end of the day. Lastly, I think that unity is paramount for any real and substantial development of the British black music scene, and that is across all genres. There is still need, room, and further scope for all involved in the scene to collaborate with one another in the quest for more dynamic growth and longevity. Production-wise and quality-wise, the bar is constantly being raised. Which can only be be a good thing. Each one teach one.
