I’m incredibly excited and grateful to announce the preorder of Dualisms: a multimedia release featuring the music and art of Kaleigh Wilder Thom Monks, Denzel Donald, Zara Teicher, and Matt Lima. The first single, We Shake With Joy, is now available exclusively on I Care if You Listen (.com)! Featuring the inimitable Kaleigh Wilder, with cinematography by Matt Lima. I hope you find an opportunity to see it.

The preorder launches today, and the album releases on Friday 7/3. 20% of all sales over the life of this album will go to Campaign Zero, an advocacy organization working on policy solutions to combat police violence.

Music might not be able to address the urgency of this particular moment. But I do believe that music and art have historically played a role in social change, and I’m dedicated to upholding that ethic in my work.

With this in mind, I'm committing to donating a portion of sales from all music that I self-release, currently and in the future, to social justice causes. This is just one thing that I can do right now to turn my work into action. I'm striving to create persistent, durable, systemic change that unfolds over a lifetime.

Battling white supremacy and injustice is work that we need to do in perpetuity; not just this week, this month, or this year. I invite you to dive deep yourself and figure out how you, personally, can contribute to making lasting change in the world. The answer will be different for each one of us. It's hard work, but we have to do it.
