Anohni It's All Over Now, Baby Blue Vinyl 7" Single Indies Clear Colour 2020
1.It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
2.Be My Husband
These songs mark Anohni’s first new music since the 2019 charity single Karma, a collaboration with Jade Bell and J. Ralph. They are It’s All over Now, Baby Blue - a cover of Bob Dylan’s 1965 folk song influenced by Symbolist poetry and Be My Husband - a cover of Nina Simone’s soulful 1965 song written by Andy Stroud.
A viscous embrace, a pulsating pouring out, Anohni’s voice is above all else a vessel for political armament. On 2016’s Hopelessness, her voice bombarded with explicit illustration of Obama-era atrocities - of war crimes, of apocalyptic climate change, of patriarchal violence. Now sharing a dual cover set, she casts a subtler, but no less powerful incantation towards change.
