![]() It feels a little weird, a little abstract in that way. We're, of course, doing a lot of phone interviews and Zoom interviews and things like that remotely to be safe, but it's not the same as going on a tour and playing your songs in front of audiences and stuff like that. We can't go to any radio stations in person, and we're limited with the amount of stuff that we can do to promote the record. What is it like releasing a political (and fun) album in this particular cultural climate?īecause of the pandemic, the process that we would normally be going through to release a record and support a record is, of course, different because we can't do any live shows. ![]() Trouble And Strife is another example of her power and dexterity, a beautiful encapsulation of our times, warts and all. From her days of singing Jerry Garcia songs in the Grateful Dead after the legend passed away to her Bob Dylan covers album from 2017, Osborne continually displays why her vocals are some of the most iconic in modern rock ‘n’ roll. Though Osborne's songwriting is subtler and more nuanced than her defining hit, her voice continues to be a revelation. Though songs like "Hands Off" deal with the prevalent corruption of our modern era, "Never Get Tired (Of Loving You)" is a heartwarming ode to her daughter, and "Boy Don’t You Know" wraps themes of female empowerment and misogyny in society around warm piano chords and silky guitar runs. As the world continues to crack and we fall under the weight of it, Osborne hopes to be a source of positivity and hope. "It's about staying connected with your joy and allowing that to lift you up," she added. "I really wanted to make this record a fun and joyful album and something you could dance to," she explained to. Though the album is her boldest political statement to date, she wanted to blend the serious moments, like the powerful immigration tale, "What’s That You Say," with moments of optimism and celebration. Osborne plays with a number of genres, and on her new LP, Trouble and Strife, she bounces from Americana to bar rock to pop with ease and style. Though Osborne, born in Kentucky but residing in New York, has never penned a song as culturally captivating as "One Of Us," her career is a sterling example of craftsmanship and dedication to superior songwriting. Not bad for her first single from her debut LP. It’s catchy and powerful, and landed Osborne three GRAMMY nominations. Her song, "One Of Us," written by collaborator Eric Bazilian, is one of those songs that transcends time, space, and individuals.
