Through a personal lens, ANOHNI addresses loss of loved ones, inequality, alienation, acceptance, cruelty, ecocide, devastation wrought by Abrahamic theologies, Future Feminism, and the possibility that we might yet transform our ways of thinking, our spiritual ideas, our societal structures, and our relationships with the rest of nature. On her first full album since 2016’s HOPELESSNESS, she explains the creative process was painstaking, yet also inspired, joyful, and intimate, a renewal and a renaming of her response to the world as she sees it. “Some of these songs respond to global and environmental concerns first voiced in popular music over 50 years ago.” ANOHNI’s approach since her last record has shifted from someone tasked with challenging global denial, to an artist seeking to support others on the front lines. “I learned with HOPELESSNESS that I can provide a soundtrack that might fortify people in their work, in their activism, in their dreaming and decision-making. I can sing of an awareness that makes others feel less alone, people for whom the frank articulation of these frightening times is not a source of discomfort but a cause for identification and relief. On “It Must Change,”ANOHNI soulfully describes systems in collapse with a note of compassion for humanity: “The truth is I always thought you were beautiful in your own way // That’s why this is so sad.” ANOHNI’s voice is sensual and smoothed, selectively reaching to the edges of what it can contain. “We’re not getting out of here // No one’s getting out of here // This is our world,” she murmurs. A portrait of legendary human rights activist Marsha P. Johnson taken by Alvin Baltrop features on the cover, reflecting a 25-year relationship with the memory of Johnson that ANOHNI has held space for in the presentation of her own work. Elsewhere, the album artwork states ”IT’S TIME TO FEEL WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING”. In some ways it feels as if she is reaching across her life’s expression, and has found a moment of unique composure, wearing her long exploration of disarming intensity, with the maturity of a painter carefully choosing her colors. “I want the work to be useful, to help others move through these conversations we are now facing, to move with dignity and resilience through this bitter dawning.” Artist ANOHNI and the Johnsons Genre Rock And Pop Label Rough Trade Buying Options 180g 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 180g , 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings It Must Change Go Ahead Sliver Of Ice Can’t Scapegoat It’s My Fault Rest There Wasn’t Enough Why Am I Alive Now You Be Free Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Phil Collins Take A Look At Me Now (Box Set) Rock And Pop | Warner Bros | 180g, 2LP Released 25th January 2016 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Phil Collins Take A Look At Me Now (Box Set) £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Bros SKU: 0081227953904 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 25th January 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lapsley Cautionary Tales Of Youth Rock And Pop | Believe Recordings | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 20th January 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lapsley Cautionary Tales Of Youth £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Believe Recordings SKU: BELIEVE020LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 20th January 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Paul's picks View Product Quick View PJ Harvey Dry Rock And Pop | Too Pure | 1LP Released 24th July 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders PJ Harvey Dry £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Too Pure SKU: PURE10LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lykke Li So Sad So Sexy Rock And Pop | RCA | 1LP Released 30th July 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lykke Li So Sad So Sexy £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: RCA SKU: 19075852701 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th July 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View King Steps In Time Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 19th April 2024 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders King Steps In Time £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3402C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Who, The Quadrophenia (Soundtrack) Rock And Pop | Polydor | 2LP Released 6th March 2020 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Who, The Quadrophenia (Soundtrack) £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Polydor SKU: 7768750 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 6th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Traffic When The Eagle Flies Rock And Pop | Island | 1LP Released 4th May 2023 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Traffic When The Eagle Flies £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: nn262947 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Sam Smith In The Lonely Hour Rock And Pop | Capitol | 1LP Released 22nd May 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sam Smith In The Lonely Hour £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Capitol SKU: 3769170 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cinematic Orchestra, The To Believe: Remixes 2 Rock And Pop | Ninja Tune | 12", Single Released 24th April 2020 £9.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cinematic Orchestra, The To Believe: Remixes 2 £9.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Ninja Tune SKU: ZEN12539 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 24th April 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Horrors, The Primary Colours Rock And Pop | XL Recordings | 2LP Released 8th May 2009 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Horrors, The Primary Colours £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: XL Recordings SKU: XLLP418 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 8th May 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
