for Blount. While Blount has said that he views all his work as intrinsically Afrofuturist, The New Faith engages with Afrofuturism more explicitly. The album is set in the future, and depicts a religious ceremony held by descendants of Black climate refugees. It is composed entirely of rearranged traditional folk songs, some of which date back to the seventeenth century. NPR, The Guardian, Rolling Stone and others named it among the best roots and folk releases of 2022. Blount began 2023 with a performance at NPR's Tiny Desk and a nomination for Artist of the Year at the International Folk Music Awards.
