Written in the wake of the passing of the Purple One, “Le Petit Prince” by Lady Moon & The Eclipse (from the band’s forthcoming debut album Journey to the Cosmic Soul) is swimming in luminous tones and lush, downtempo funk rhythms as the vocals take us on a journey to an outer space destnation where we can become self-actualized beings. If Parliament and Funkadelic were early examples of Afrofuturism in music, this band and song is a modern manifestation of the same much as is Janelle Monáe. It’s not hokey science fiction stuff here, it’s a beautiful vision of an expanded, enhanced vision of the future of humanity and ourselves. Not dystopian, not technocratic but a future that is also informed by a spirituality rooted in cultivating our best selves and instincts and aspirations. Whatever this future depicted in the video for “Le Petite Prince” might represent it’s a place you want to be with a music that is as soothing as it is challenging you to reach within to shake off the cynicism and angst that limits your personal growth even if you can only do that a little at a time. It’s not an aggressive challenge but one that encourages from a nurturing place, which is something the world needs much more of these days.
