Moor Mothers musical identity is embedded in powerful political storytelling and spoken word poetry that tackles political issues such as police brutality, slavery, domestic violence and many more. In “Death by Longitude,” from her album The Great Bailout, Moor Mother critiques the economic exploitation and historical injustices caused by capitalism and colonialism and how the black community is continuing to be exploited. A key feature of Moor Mothers work being spoken word poetry is evident in this track as she speaks on the history of transatlantic slavery through a harsh and urgent delivery. The song comments on how black people have and are continuously being dehumanised, as she says “Europe is God, and everything else is the devil”. In the beginning of the song you can hear the creaking of what’s reminiscent of a slave ship along with continuous harsh wind sounds throughout that evokes the merciless crimes that were committed. The message is further emphasised by the eerie sounds of chains and screaming underlying vocal layering and distortion creating a haunting soundscape. Towards the end of the song, her voice picks up in pace, and functions as a rhythmic addition to the turbulent chaos of dissonant horns, heavy basslines, and harsh electronic elements that summons the feeling of discomfort. These musical elements display Moor Mothers use of experimental jazz elements and afro-futurism which may also double up as a way of reclaiming the identity and history for Black people, to rewrite futures and narratives that refuse to be defined by racial oppression and create alternative histories. “Death by Longitude,” lists the locations of where many enslaved Africans perished during the transatlantic slave trade as well as the multitude of colonialists responsible for the historical atrocities “The Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, the Spanish, the Americans … all aboard”. Despite it being the enslaved Africans “all aboard”, Moor Mother turns the historical narrative on its head to push the evident blame onto the collective of colonialist countries.
