Into The Groove: Antony & The Johnsons – I Am A Bird Now

On episode six of Into The Groove, Richard Eric tells the story of Anohni and her astounding, unique 2005 album I Am A Bird Now. As Antony, she emerged from the New York City art scene and captured the ears of critics and audiences with her raw, heartfelt songs and astonishing voice. A dark and deeply personal record, featuring songs that explicitly reference Anohni’s identification as transgender, I Am A Bird Now received universal critical acclaim and seemingly came from nowhere to take out the 2005 Mercury Music Prize. This success made Anohni an unlikely chart star, and she eventually became the first individual to receive BRIT Award nominations in both the Male and Female fields. In addition, this episode goes beyond I Am A Bird Now to discuss Anohni’s 2016 Academy Award nomination, and her subsequent boycott of the ceremony – proving once and for all that, as an artist and an activist, Anohni is fearless.
