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 Eric Clapton/BB King Riding With The King Blues | Rhino | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 19th June 2014 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eric Clapton/BB King Riding With The King £42.00 Genre: Blues Label: Rhino SKU: 9362476121 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 19th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Anteros Drunk EP Rock And Pop | Distiller | 10", EP/Mini Album Released 12th May 2017 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Anteros Drunk EP £12.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Distiller SKU: DTIL089V Formats: 10", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 12th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Battles Juice B Crypts Rock And Pop | Warp | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 18th October 2019 £15.99 - £22.00 £22.00 Select options Reserve View Reservations Battles Juice B Crypts £15.99 - £22.00 £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warp Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 18th October 2019 Reserve View Reservations Read More Select options View Product Quick View B-52s, The Cosmic Thing Rock And Pop | Rhino | 1LP Released 22nd May 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders B-52s, The Cosmic Thing £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 603497847686 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Robert Palmer Collected Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 2LP Released 4th November 2016 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Robert Palmer Collected £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1788 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 4th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View 5 Seconds Of Summer The Feeling Of Falling Upwards – Live from The Royal Albert Hall Rock And Pop | BMG | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 14th July 2023 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders 5 Seconds Of Summer The Feeling Of Falling Upwards – Live from The Royal Albert Hall £36.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538901238 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 14th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Love Black Beauty Rock And Pop | High Moon | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 6th June 2013 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Love Black Beauty £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: High Moon SKU: HMRLP01 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Smerz Believer Rock And Pop | XL Recordings | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th February 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Smerz Believer £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: XL Recordings SKU: XL1076LP Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Whitesnake The Purple Tour (Live) Metal / Classic Rock | Warner Bros | 2LP Released 24th November 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Whitesnake The Purple Tour (Live) £22.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Warner Bros SKU: 0603497865109 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 24th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Solomon Grey Human Music Rock And Pop | Mercury KX | 1LP Released 16th February 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Solomon Grey Human Music £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mercury KX SKU: 4815647 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
