SONGS FOR THE DRUNK
AND BROKEN HEARTED
Passenger
January 8
Passenger has announced his 13th studio
album, “Songs For The Drunk And Broken
Hearted.” The English singer-songwriter
recorded the LP pre-coronavirus at his Black
Crow Studios in his hometown of Brighton
shortly after becoming newly single. “Coming
out of a break-up creates such a fragile
window,” he said in a statement. “You’re so
used to the safety of being with somebody
and suddenly you’re out in the world on your
own. … In some ways, you make it worse for
yourself. But it’s a heady moment, losing love
and being drunk. And it’s universal. Everyone
goes through it at some stage.”

REVOLUTIONARY LOVE
Ani DiFranco
January 29
Ani DiFranco is returning with her
22nd album “Revolutionary Love” via
her label, Righteous Babe Records.
The announcement of the follow-up
to 2017’s “Binary” (which featured
a collaboration with popular indie singersongwriter
Justin Vernon) was accompanied
by the release of the album’s title track.
“Revolutionary Love” was inspired by Valarie
Kaur’s book “See No Stranger.” “It’s about
carrying the energy of love and compassion
into the center of our social movements
and making it the driving force,” DiFranco
said of the new album. “It’s about finding it
within ourselves to stay curious about our
opponents instead of shutting down.”
