TLC bleed American gold.

TLC brings the soul on their latest single "American Gold," the third drop off their upcoming eponymous debut. While the group may have lost the lovely and talented Left Eye, T-Boz and Chilli are putting some serious honor on her name. Not only did the group raise four-hundred and thirty thousand dollars in crowd-funded ducats to produce the album, but they seem to have found a musical second wind in the process.

"American Gold" may appear a proclamation of traditional patriotism, but in reality, there are several subtle commentaries on the country imbued within the lyrics. In reality, it's an anthem for the marginalized, a rallying cry to take back the country that may have abandoned them. 

Quotable Lyrics

I cry for the ones I lost,
I pray for the ones that don't,
I'm bleeding on American soil,
I'm bleeding this American Gold
