My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross is Anohni’s sixth studio album, a powerful exploration of loss, inequality, alienation, environmental destruction, and the potential for transformation. Following her 2016 album Hopelessness, Anohni reflects on her shift from challenging global denial to supporting those on the front lines. The album, both intimate and political, offers a soulful soundtrack for activists and dreamers. Tracks like “It Must Change” express compassion for humanity amidst systems in collapse, while the cover, featuring Marsha P. Johnson, connects Anohni’s work to her legacy of social justice. The album blends disarming intensity with mature, contemplative art, aiming to help others navigate these urgent global conversations with dignity and resilience.
