Music has always been a way to explore the fluid nature of gender and sexuality from Little Richard, to Bowie and beyond. It’s deeply troubling that we seem to have gone backwards from the days when most people were generally accepting (with certain politicians and newspapers being the exceptions the proved the rule) to today’s situation.
Anohni has a beautiful vibrato voice and uses it to sing songs from the heart about her experiences as a trans woman. The highlights are the starkly honest For Today I Am a Boy and the heartbreaking You Are My Sister featuring guest vocals from Boy George. The musical accompaniment is kept fairly plain, mostly simple piano with a couple of torch songs.
