    On her latest album, Broken Politics, time has not dulled any of her strengths--the mother-of-three still writes couplets that hook you instantly, and has lost none of that firebrand lyricism. Her art, ever poetic, is even more entrenched in the political than previously.

    Cherry's latest references the refugee crisis, gun violence, fascism, racism and a collective sense of despair. But Cherry knows how to wrap these subjects in something sweeter. The scope of Broken Politics takes in both our outward political moment as well as its effects on our interior life. The music that accompanies her has an equally wide scope.

    As a follow up to, what at the time, felt like a highly experimental, leftfield album for Cherry in Blank Project, Broken Politics is far less of a shock to the system. It is a more even-paced, leaner affair with Hebden showing his ability to create subtly shaded melodic gems that allow Cherry's voice and lyrics to shine.
