Dating sucks. It’s like a shitty game show of self-imposed vulnerability. Sure, you might walk away with what society tells us is the grand prize, reciprocated love. More likely, you’ll go home alone and a little more cynical.

No More Weak Dates is the full-length debut from SassyBlack, the solo project of Catherine “Cat” Harrisยญ-White. She’s one half of the recently disbanded THEESatisfaction, her duo with Stasia “Stas” Irons. The album title projects confidence in the bizarre and often grueling exercise of dating, but it also acts as a powerful, protecting incantation. This duality characterizes Harris-White’s cosmic but soulfully grounded “hologram funk.”โ€ฆ
