Fantasizing About Being Black, is a stark and poetic lesson on the historical trauma of the African American experience, from the voyages of slave ships to the Mississippi Delta. Taylor simultaneously travels back in time while moving forward as a musical artist.

Blending his unique songwriting and the compelling musical approach that he calls trance blues, the recording inspires with stories of the enduring human spirit, letting its hypnotic sound as well as Taylor’s lyrics tell a story of continuing struggle.

Musically, Otis Taylor produces a unique sound that draws on African American culture but is innovative in the instrumentation and arrangement. Typical for the artist, he’s found a unique way of expressing ideas in a work that honours musical traditions yet moves the genre forward in a creative mix that has an intellectual and emotional impact.
