“Anohni’s voice sounds delicate, angry, and exhausted, as she grieves track by track — for the unfulfilled promises of civil rights[...] for the immolation of a world succumbing to ecocide.”
— Rolling Stone, The Best Albums of 2023 So Far

“‘It Must Change’ [is] a deeply felt protest song with targets between the personal and political, and gorgeously lush production worthy of Sigma Sound Studios in the ’70s. Organic, emotional, timely, timeless.”
— Billboard, The 25 Best Pride Songs of 2023 (So Far): Staff Picks

ANOHNI ha condiviso il nuovo singolo "Can't". Il brano è tratto dal suo ultimo album "My Back Was a Bridge For You To Cross".

ANOHNI descrive il processo creativo di My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross, il suo primo album dopo l'acclamato HOPELESSNESS del 2016, come minuzioso, ma anche ispirato, gioioso e intimo, un rinnovamento e una ridefinizione della sua risposta al mondo così come lo vede. Con questo album, l'approccio di ANOHNI è cambiato passando da sfidare la negazione globale a un'artista che cerca di sostenere gli altri in prima linea. "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. I want the work to be useful, to help others move with dignity and resilience through these conversations we are now facing".

My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross esprime una visione del mondo attraverso diversi tipi di soggetti. Attraverso una lente personale, ANOHNI affronta la perdita di persone care, la disuguaglianza, l'alienazione, l'accettazione, la crudeltà, l'ecocidio, la devastazione causata dalle teologie abramitiche, il femminismo del futuro e la possibilità di trasformare i nostri modi di pensare, le nostre idee spirituali, le nostre strutture sociali e le nostre relazioni con il resto della natura.
