Ani Di Franco Unprecedented Sh!t LP

These days, every artist's album needs to have a story. The music can't speak for itself. But after 22 records, why can't Ani DiFranco's work speak for itself? Yes, her forthcoming album is shaped by stories - ones about reproductive freedom, the double-edged sword of the pandemic, identity and ever-evolving belief systems that have shaped each of its 11 songs. It was paramount to the folk-feminist hero that listeners not be saddled with preconceived notions while diving into her 23rd album Unprecedented Sh!t.
