Anohni And The Johnsons - My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross CD

My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross is the soul stirring sixth studio album from Anohni and her long running project The Johnsons, released in 2023. Named Album of the Year by The A.V. Club and widely lauded across global critical end of year lists, the album marks a triumphant return to collaborative band arrangements. Co-produced alongside soul producer Jimmy Hogarth (Amy Winehouse, Duffy), the record channels the classic soul structures of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" to address environmental collapse, trans identity, civil rights, and societal grief.

This compact disc edition is presented in an eco-conscious 4-panel cardboard digipak sleeve. The cover art prominently features a striking historical portrait of legendary transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson captured by photographer Alvin Baltrop. Delivering warm, uncompressed digital audio quality, the physical CD captures every delicate nuance of Anohni's towering, tremulous vocal delivery set against lush brass, swelling strings, and raw electric guitar accompaniment.

Standout tracks such as the soul drenched lead anthem "It Must Change", the searing, guitar driven "Sliver of Ice" (a tribute to Lou Reed), and the devastatingly beautiful "Why Am I Alive Now?" showcase Anohni at the absolute peak of her emotional power and songwriting artistry.

A profound, politically urgent, and timeless work of modern soul pop, My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross is a essential physical release for collectors of alternative and soul music.
