The musical star whom we love more than anything else, Keesha Blair, is visiting us again on our blog, and quite frankly, it seems that the world deserves less from her than what she keeps bringing to us. Keesha is not only an artist; she is an innovative songwriter, a virtuoso of musical creation and custom music director who has made the entire artistry and work of hers be based on such precious life practices as healing, empowerment, boundary setting, radical truth, and emotional repair. Her songs such as “Peaceful Power” and “Access Denied” were not just hits; these songs changed how I live my life in such a way that she intended it to happen and thus became an undeniable superstar of my daily music list and many others worldwide. And now, this magnificent American talent returns to get her throne back again with yet another outstanding creation, which is called “Truth Always Showed Its Face” and which was officially released on the eleventh of June. Let’s have a seat and explore the magic; for now, it is time to discuss why Keesha runs the entire game.
The song does not allow for any wasted second, jumping right into the action with an intense vocal performance that grabs your complete attention instantly. However, intertwined with the background is the most beautiful silk R&B sound, which envelops the vocals with the grace of an embrace, raising the entire mood. The introduction is nothing less than a lesson itself, giving you an instant message that you have just seen the birth of a complete powerhouse of a track.
Lyrically and thematically, “Truth Always Showed Its Face” is simply perfect; it plunges headlong into the deeper world of radical truth, absolute emotional clarity, true healing, hard-won trust, and the wonderful experience of liberation from honesty turning into total freedom. Through her lyrics, Blair creates a compelling and realistic story of a main character who finds herself caught up in a web of lies that are piling up to smother her in the stark realization of the inevitable collapse of that lie structure. However, in that destruction, there is the final point of change; the daring choice to come out of the dark and fight for the truth at any cost. Having been liberated from her prison, she makes up her mind to dedicate all her efforts to the new cause of allowing the truth to guide her actions in all aspects of life, for as this song clearly shows, the truth can never be kept in the dark forever. Just like a pregnancy, it may be silent for a while, but it will grow, mature, and ultimately show itself to the world.
Entering the production and sonic construction of the track “Truth Always Showed Its Face,” the track is completely composed of an introspective, impossible to be anything but smooth and highly intimate soundscape that comes off as a late-night, heartfelt discussion with your closest friends, rather than a song on tape. The track has been created with the intention of catering to those who appreciate a certain level of depth in their music; fans of deep, meaningful R&B and soul.
Once again, Keesha has displayed how much intentionality goes into her artwork, since every single visual aspect is an extension of the soul of the song. In “Truth Always Showed Its Face”, Keesha is seen standing silently in front of the mirror, and she looks directly at her reflection. Although this may seem simple on the surface, when combined with the theme of the song, one comes to realize that it is a piece of sheer brilliance; the character in the song lived in a thick mist of deception for so long that her glass mirror had gotten all murky and blurred due to lies. However, the very second she makes her bold, life-changing decision to get to the truth, all the haze disappears, the veil comes off, and she sees herself clearly, for the first time without anything obstructing her sight or hiding parts of her. It’s a striking visual symbolism of coming back to one’s own self, and quite simply, a class in visual storytelling.
How incredible and soulful a ride Keesha Blair has given us once again, and how she has repeatedly shown us that she is indeed in a league of her own. This song has everything – unflinching honesty, the richness of R&B sounds, and storytelling at its best. Every song Keesha creates takes her nowhere else but home run by making use of her unique position and talent bestowed on her by God, as she analyzes the complex human experience. It is an absolute pleasure to listen to every one of the musical rides Keesha has provided for us, and I am impatiently waiting to experience another magical moment with the amazing and unmatched Keesha.
