“Our Roots Run Deep” is Dominique Fils-Aimé’s fourth full-length and the first chapter of a new triptych. Her award-winning album trilogy of "Nameless," "Stay Tuned!" and "Three Little Words" conceptualized the history of African American music. The album sees Dominique look inwards, reflecting on her own emotional and spiritual landscape: her roots. She layers a variety of catchy, wordless vocal licks that feel like mantras or prayers—repeating, soothing the nervous system and distinguishing her sound. The end result is a sonic space where the listener can feel and dream alongside innovative melodic structures.
