Singer, songwriter, and producer China Moses has been releasing music and performing across the globe for nearly 30 years—her debut album China came out 1998. Her new album, independently released, is called it’s complicated..., and that title is more than a Facebook relationship status or a deflection—it's come to encompass all the complexities of being an artist, a woman, and a human being. "We’re all flawed,” she says. "And that’s okay."
She talks with WBGO’s Kyla Marshell about the origins of the album, her radio show Jazz Adjacent, why she’s not into self-help, and what she’s learned from her mom, legendary singer Dee Dee Bridgewater.
