My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross (CD)
ANOHNI And The Johnsons
Amoeba Review
ANOHNI and the Johnsons's My Back Was a Bridge For You To Cross is a soulful, consoling, transcendent album. Inspired by Marvin Gaye's sound as well as his dedication to activism, these richly-textured, beautiful songs were written to bolster people in their own action-taking, to make people feel less alone in a sometimes overwhelming world. ANOHNI certainly succeeds: whether seeking answers to painful questions or offering solace to others, these lyrics and melodies feel like a gift. Produced by Jimmy Hogarth (Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Tina Turner), My Back Was a Bridge For You To Cross is a fantastic entry into the soul-as-changemaker canon.
