Feministing Jamz: “Pleasure This Pain” by Kwamie Liv feat. Angel Haze

Don’t you love it when two fab people collaborate? Two great artists that we love here at Jamz — Kwamie Liv and Angel Haze — have just released a new song, and it is all [heart eyes emoji]. 

Kwamie Liv’s whispery-soft voice is a match made in heaven with Angel Haze’s singing and fast-paced flow. This is also the third new track we’ve heard in recent weeks from Angel Haze, who does not seem to be slowing down. At this point we’re definitely expecting new work from Haze, who has confirmed that their* Back To The Woods EP is coming out on September 14th, but we might see new music from Liv as well, who’s released a few new songs in the last three months. Her last years’ Lost In The Girl EP was excellent, so here’s hoping for more!

*I had missed this in my last post about Angel Haze, but they came out as agender back in February and requested they/them pronouns. Noted!

Verónica Bayetti Flores has spent the last years of her life living and breathing reproductive justice. She has led national policy and movement building work on the intersections of immigrants' rights, health care access, young parenthood, and LGBTQ liberation, and has worked to increase access to contraception and abortion, fought for paid sick leave, and demanded access to safe public space for queer youth of color. In 2008 Verónica obtained her Master’s degree in the Sexuality and Health program at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. She loves cooking, making art, listening to music, and thinking about the ways art forms traditionally seen as feminine are valued and devalued. In addition to writing for Feministing, she is currently spending most of her time doing policy work to reduce the harms of LGBTQ youth of color's interactions with the police and making sure abortion care is accessible to all regardless of their income.

Verónica is a queer immigrant writer, activist, and rabble-rouser.
