Continuing our journey into the influence of Black Music on consumer trends, today's focus shifts to the authenticity and relatability of these genres and their strategic use in marketing. Jazz, blues, hip-hop, and R&B not only shape brand identities but also foster a genuine connection with the Black community by reflecting their real-life stories and emotions. However, leveraging this influence in marketing demands a careful balance to avoid cultural appropriation and ensure representation feels respectful and authentic. Successful integration involves understanding the music's cultural significance, engaging with Black artists, and aligning choices with brand values. This respectful approach enhances brand relevance, supports economic empowerment, and avoids stereotypes, demonstrating the power of Black Music in creating meaningful consumer engagement while honoring its rich cultural legacy. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackMusic #MarketResearch #ConsumerTrends #MRX #Marketing

Join us this June as we celebrate Black Music Month, a time dedicated to honoring the profound impact of Black American artists on the music industry. Meet GEORGE CLINTON! There were tacit protocols for US Black music in the late 60s: artists had to be slick and sing soul or funk, ideally while wearing suits and dancing in a line. Romantic lyrics were acceptable, as was the occasional protest song, as long as it sounded like it was religious. There were exceptions, such as Sly And The Family Stone, but they were of mixed heritage and from San Francisco, where anything goes, baby; and Jimi Hendrix, who had to leave the US to win recognition. But when the Parliament and Funkadelic groups beamed down from planet Loose Booty in 1968, they laughed at such protocols. They’d tried that smooth shit already, it didn’t work. That they laughed was another taboo-breaker: music was meant to be serious because life was serious. But they mocked anything and everything. They were funky – at times earnest – but, as a bunch of Black hippies, they knew life was tilted against them, so how could they play by its rules? Each day, we'll feature a different musician, producer, or songwriter who has made significant contributions to various genres, from jazz and blues to hip-hop and R&B.

"In the face of things that will dehumanize you, the antidote is becoming more Human" - Maryam hasnaa At -tauhidi In a few hours I have the pleasure in speaking at Lake Highland Alumni Association with fellow Black Trailblazers including John Devine, Shamir Duverseau, Jacinta C. Mathis, & Ryanna Mowatt focusing on a numerous amount of topics. One of the topics that will be emphasized in our conversation, will be asking “How do we connect with each other and ourselves?” How does “Being Human” relate to the world around us? If you are looking for me to provide you the “end all answer,” I must admit, I do not have one. I do though have an opinion that begins to slowly peel back the answer to this question. For how can we be Human in a world that pushes us to aggressively connect technologically, but can leave us so empty emotionally? For me “Being Human” means to be Perfectly imperfect. It means to make a Masterpiece out of the “Mess.” It means to show up authentically when it’s not necessarily accepted or choosing oneself when it is not easy. Being Human also means being accepted for all that you are, and more importantly for all that you are not. It means In a World of Computer Screens… - I hope that you have people around you that allows you to feel Seen. It means that when the algorithm pushes your posts because of the number of likes…I hope that it never shadows your ability to Like yourself...to Love yourself in your own life. I want to take this moment to honor the people…that in spite of the ways society may try to dehumanize - thank you for holding the space, that allows me to be Human. ❤️🔥 -Sincera EarlAlexander Mitchell Frank O.
