The FADER Interview: ANOHNI communes with Marvin Gaye on “Why Am I Alive Now?”
06.07.2023 - 06:47 / thefader.com
ANOHNI is this week’s guest on The FADER Interview. On the podcast, the British-American multimedia artist and activist discussed the vast tonal shift between her last album and her new one. Where 2016’s HOPELESSNESS was an eviscerating, explicitly topical endeavor, My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross, due out this Friday (July 7) via Secretly Canadian, is less didactic and more soulful (a sound facilitated in part by producer Jimmy Hogarth and the return of ANOHNI’s band, The Johnsons), though just as intentional in its messaging.
Late in her conversation with The FADER’s Raphael Helfand, the topic turned to “Why Am I Alive Now?,” the third and final single from My Back Was A Bridge, out today (July 5). The song’s lyrics tell a tale of desperation and loneliness in the context of climate apocalypse, but its sound is rich and urgent. When asked about the relationship of the song’s bleak theme and its colorful scenery, ANOHNI revealed the song’s most salient inspiration.

There’s a sense of abundance — this proliferation that’s the backdrop to a sense of loneliness in the face of these times.
Of any of the songs on the record, that one is in conversation with the legacy of Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On, where he went topically from song to song and accumulated a worldview in the course of an album. That was what I tried to do with HOPELESSNESS. On [My Back Was A Bridge, “Why Am I Alive Now?”] in particular was trying to address that record across the bridge of time.” Watch the inspired visuals for “Why Am I Alive Now?,” directed by Hunter

‘The Flood’ Review: An Alligator Thriller with a Bloody Explicit Chomp Factor
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic The scene where Robert Shaw gets eaten in “Jaws” is one of the most thrilling moments in movie history. After all of Steven Spielberg’s virtuoso framing and cool ’70s Hitchcock scare tactics, the shark’s big-mouthed consumption of a man who fully deserves to be eaten had a shockingly raw “Look, there it is!” exploitation-film brazenness. (One not inaccurate way to describe “Jaws” would be as the greatest B-movie ever made.) “The Flood,” an alligator-attack movie that’s also a violent prison-break thriller, takes its cue from that scene. Set in a backwater Louisiana police station during a hurricane, the film isn’t shy about serving up its big, nasty human-torso-meets-jaws moments. It’s basically a slasher movie with teeth.
