about

Why the Caged Bird Sings references the poetic masterwork of iconic African American poet/author/singer/dancer/activist Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and it is Angelou’s distinctive, wonderfully resonant voice that we hear at the beginning of the track. Tapping into Angelou’s premise, Maclean takes us (metaphorically) to church, worshipping at the altar of defiant joy and celebration thrown in the face of pain, oppression, and darkness.
