SUMMARY:Kristen Ford - Righteaus Babe Records
DESCRIPTION:Kristen Ford - Righteaus Babe Records\nRighteous Babe recording
  artist makes their first trip to Alaska.\nOn her newest album\, Pinto\, t
 he queer\, biracial\, L.A. songwriter Kristen Ford blasts waybeyond the po
 int of caution and unveils a wild landscape of visceral emotion.Ford’s w
 orld is one of the deepest feelings: whether fuming at queer repression\, 
 falling head over heels in love\, or learning to finally and wholeheartedl
 y practice true self-acceptance. Pinto is a place where she can be candid 
 enough to openly share her losses while being mindful enough to acknowledg
 e her wins. In revealing both her scars and her successes\, Ford raises a 
 spirited cry that invites the listener to boldly embrace themselves\, to t
 ake up space\, and to loudly state that “enough is enough”.The lessons
  that Ford explores on Pinto are those learned the hard way: from helpless
 ly watching the state-sanctioned suppression of queer rights in the US\, t
 hrough finding new love after a gut-wrenching divorce\, and from the daily
  microaggressions that come with being sold a patriarchal expectation of 
 ‘womanliness’.With a series of acclaimed releases under her belt\, no 
 one could accuse this veteran songwriter of lacking poetic nuance. Still\,
  it is hard to ignore the raw and undiluted messages that are contained wi
 thin Pinto. Undoubtedly\, this is Ford’s most political\, most pointed\,
  and most energizing outing yet.The heart of Pinto is that YOU still matte
 r. Working people\, women\, queer people\, immigrants\, creators in their 
 30s and beyond\, still matter. We didn’t time out on that. It is an albu
 m that embodies Ford’s belief that “the rulebook has been thrown out b
 y the current administration\, but we can turn this disorder back on them 
 and boldly create the world we want.” Or\, as she puts it in her less gu
 arded moments\, “it’s time to be louder\, be bigger\, be brasher mothe
 rf*cker!”It was at a Ford show in 2022 that she first caught the ear of 
 legendary songwriter Ani DiFranco. Over the preceding months\, the two str
 uck up a working relationship that has since seen them tour together and c
 o-write four of the twelve songs that will appear on Pinto. Their connecti
 on continues with the release of Pinto\, which arrives on August 22nd via 
 DiFranco’sRighteous Babe Records.
