Been a fan of the ‘Mac for so much time, happy to see them back in the spotlight, being shared, being covered, all over the globe and in so many different voices. Born witness to the Birds of Chicago and the sense of spirituality they bring onstage, of being wholly involved, so this is one where birds of a feather etc.

“Music saved my life. I learned that women could write music too. I discovered that I was a musician; that I was a writer. But, I was a listener first. Every time I listen to a modern song that moves me it feels like resistance. These brilliant artists - Sade, Stevie Nicks - powerful writers all, make me feel brave and fully human. These songs each create a world that I want to visit and revisit. They sound like freedom to me.” - Allison Russell

The future is inevitable, even the day after the Groundhog, round and round and round again, even after palindrome dates - back and forward, to and fro, but the sun rises and the mellow days of a waning winter approach, the endlessness ends and in the waxing we wait for the inevitable breaking of Spring. Perhaps earlier in this year of hindsight, perhaps earlier than ever. The sameness is no longer.

Have you ever wondered what fusion of music will occur as we collectively stumble around the internet gathering bits and bytes of tunes and traditions from across the globe. Who will mesh and mash-up and draw upon such treasures. What new sounds will emerge and what new world will be born from such creations. I wonder a lot about that but mostly I wonder who will be brave enough to seek.

"Sometimes the biggest holdback is that little voice in your head saying you can’t do what you really want to do, for fear of failure. It’s a song where I’m battling the inner demons in my mind, asking them ‘why you wanna bring me down?’ when all I want to do is at least try. We all battle with these voices and this came to me and sometimes confronting them is the best way to get ahead." - Aphrose
