Music from Chapter 3 of You’re So Talented
Why do we assume “beauty” is empowering and desired by all women? Is it possible for us to not consider ourselves “beautiful” without it automatically meaning we hate ourselves/devalue ourselves? I see men who consider themselves “funny looking” and not necessarily beautiful, and they love the shit out of themselves and no ones forces them to call themselves beautiful, and no one worries about their self esteem etc. It feels like we feel the need to reassure women that they are all beautiful because if they aren’t then they are worthless to us. Whereas men can be ugly as shit but we don’t worry about reassuring them of their value. Idk. I like the freedom to be ugly sometimes. Thinking out loud here. What do you guys think?

Samantha Bailey of You’re So Talented talks about the exciting new season of her web series with Elena Colás Interview with Samantha Bailey of You're So Talented. Check out some mentions of me and my musical duo Whatever Spectrum.
Most original series don’t have the luxury of having a music team create songs specifically for the series. But we’re not most original series and we’re lucky to have Whatever Spectrum (Samantha Lee and Alistair Slaughter) score You’re So Talented with unique and creative music. Read on for more info on this Chapter’s featured song: ‘Island’.
Where did the idea of ‘Island’ come from and why did you choose it for YST? Samantha Lee: I sang a version of the lyrics into my phone on the way home from hanging out with a group of friends. I felt off, like I was performing a version of myself that wasn’t actually me. The island operates as this space where I get to just be and concern myself with the mechanisms of survival. And shit isn’t always good and pretty, but I am there and dealing with it. Alistair Slaughter: The plan for YST music was to make as many beats as I could with the tone of YST and with Samantha’s voice and writing in mind. I made this one and it had kind of an upbeat yet melancholy feel. I named it “go ahead, tell her” because it felt like a moment of realization or acceptance. I played the instrumental for Samantha and she immediately went to the lyrics she had previously recorded. From the first line it seemed like a match.
If you haven’t yet, hear the song along with ‘Right Here’ on their website: www.whateverspectrum.com

One of the most important things we hold on to around here is celebrating artists that we admire. Chicago’s pool of talent is deep so we’re bringing back the Who’s So Talented series to highlight some of the ones who really get us going. To kick things off we have Po’ Chop, a burlesque artist who is constantly pushing the boundaries of performance and gender norms. She challenges us to create outside the box and define our own lanes. Read more below.
Fill in the blank. I’m so talented because: there is no other option.
When did you know you wanted to be a dancer/burlesque artist?
i knew i wanted to be a dancer the moment i walked into my first dance studio. something about the simplicity of a bare studio, the music rumbling and filling the room, and me hurling my body through space gave me boundless joy. i danced from the ages of 3-20. Performing, studying, rehearsing. repeat. and i would’ve continued that way if patterns were created only to be repeated and not to eventually be broken. needless to say, i experienced trauma for the first time.stopped dancing and spent 4 years in a depleting depression.
INSERT CRYING MONTAGE AND FAST FORWARD.
…i knew i wanted to be a burlesque artist the moment someone told me my performances have helped changed their perception of themselves. Po’Chop was created to edify. to redefine beauty and gender norms and to encourage and empower folks of all identities to celebrate who they are in this moment.
What role does Chicago play in your life as an artist?
Chicago has taught me the necessity of darkness. of creating despite feeling stuck or isolated. Chicago has led me to beautiful communities of like minded folks that have impacted my life greatly. Chicago has introduced me to my two great loves. PBR and Rose Freeman. (not listed in any particular order) I’m a homebody, and Chicago is definitely my home.
Po’Chop was just listed as one of VAM’s 20 Influencers Po will also be performing at the annual Jeezy’s Juke Joint this spring. Buy tickets here.
