    Burhenn would undoubtedly prefer the circumstances for getting back together with us be different but, either way, the world is an eternally mercurial place and Be Here Now captures the restlessness of an artist who wouldn’t want it any other way.

    Be Here Now never loses sight of the bigger picture. It's a fist and an open palm, but it certainly knows which side it's on.

    Be Here Now, is both a protest against the current state of the world and a reminder to cherish what we hold dear. In doing so, Be Here Now is a celebration of love, freedom, and art.

    Be Here Now builds on her career-long work of thinking both personally and politically, of both controlling and unleashing her strength. That approach also reveals itself as just a bit of weakness here, but Burhenn’s welcoming personality and willingness to simultaneously dance and resist prove enough to carry the disc (and possibly the day).
