From her forthcoming new album Order of Romance, the Manchester-based Californian singer-songwriter and guitarist returns with an enchanting and clever new single about Revolutionary Love, interweaving beautiful vocal harmonies and brass and percussion accompaniment. She says of the single when on tour with Ani Di Franco in 2020 she was ‘struck by the phrase “Revolutionary Love from Ani’s then unreleased song of the same name, a song itself written in response to “See No Stranger: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love” by Valarie Kaur. Kaur describes Revolutionary Love as “the choice to enter into labour for Others who do not look like us , for our opponents who hurt us and for ourselves. Revolutionary Love is a force for justice and freedom from hate.” I’ve picked up the baton with the writing of Hatred Has A Mother as a dedication to the practice of Revolutionary Love and to pass it on to you the listener.’
Order of Romance is due out on 16 September on Memphis Industries. explore more of her work see also the embedded Spotify link below, as well as Bandcamp or her website.
