LIFE ON EARTH (Deluxe Edition) MP3 Album
LIFE ON EARTH, the Nonesuch debut of Hurray for the Riff Raff (aka Alynda Segarra), is a departure for the Bronx-born, New Orleans-based singer/songwriter. Its eleven new "nature punk" tracks on the theme of survival are music for a world in flux—songs about thriving, not just surviving, while disaster is happening. The album was recorded during the pandemic with producer Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver, Kevin Morby). While making it, Segarra drew inspiration from the Clash, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Bad Bunny, and the author of Emergent Strategy, adrienne maree brown. "A major step forward for one of today's most vital artists," exclaims Uncut. "The first great album of 2022." This deluxe edition includes the original album’s eleven track plus seven additional tracks, including acoustic versions of three album tracks, a collaboration with Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and a take on Eurythmics' “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)”
