This is not the artist we posted on Monday, nor are we linking to it. You can look later, though.
This is Anita White, a blues singer who goes by Lady A and has since at least the late 90's. So, when Lady Antebellum changed their name in the wake of the George Floyd death - to get rid of a Civil War reference - it was a serious issue.
Luckily, this little confusion didn't stop Anita White, who still goes by Lady A - and can, legally, thanks to a settlement in 2022. She's still releasing music, too. We applaud her for standing up to a huge name and winning.
This song was clearly written as a response to the band formerly know as Lady Antebellum. It's also a really strong and empowering song that is full of soul.
