Manifestra finds McKeown accompanied by many musical friends, who add a simple but lush foundation to her songs. Track “Baghdad To The Bayou,” co-written via text message with longtime friend Rachel Maddow, is a simmering New Orleans cut that addresses injustice from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Mexico. “The Jailer” is an upbeat, percussive number whose bright horns and melodic vocals belie the serious undercurrent of border politics. “Proof” is a soft, sweet ballad straight from an opening heart, soon to be accompanied by the first-ever music video of McKeown’s career, while title track “Manifestra” features a mantra of strength and gratitude set to McKeown’s minimal electric guitar line. Download “The Jailer” off the new album below, and check out all upcoming dates.
