"The anger, the moments when you feel your heart exploding with joy & the grief. That’s what feels manageable. I feel that that’s what I can offer.”
@MsJessKlein on a new album that takes up the fight, with melodic weapons & faith in more than some deity.

She's on a mission from ... well, herself. Writing excellent punchy pop/rock songs is a start, but @MsJessKlein wants a purpose, & from Spanish footballers to teens, she's got one. “I think that women are rising up & coming together in a powerful way.”

TWOFER - Parts 1 & 2 of STRANGE FRUIT by Billie Holiday. Written by Abel Meeropol, In part 1 I talk about how this protest song affected Billie Holiday and her career. PART 2 I talk about what makes this song so powerful is the juxtaposition. https://t.co/GALIalCZXI

PART 1 of 'INNER CITY BLUES' by Marvin Gaye. This song is social commentary at its best. Raw, biting & real 'Rockets, moonshots, spend it on the have-nots. Money, we make it, before we see it, you take it. Make me wanna holler, the way they do my life." https://t.co/LQl27m6BDa
