Review

Crys Matthews ain’t scared of no ghosts. In fact, she communes with them on her new single “Waking Up the Dead.” Matthews is a consummate political songwriter and spiritual guide, and on her new single — off her upcoming album — Matthews recounts a moment she had in a Quaker cemetery, showing the ghosts there that their long-sought cause of abolition has been realized.
