In this chat, we get to meet My Brightest Diamond – aka: Shara Nova.
I got to speak with Shara surrounding the release of her newest My Brightest Diamond record, called Fight the Real Terror. In this discussion, she and I go deep into this album – its themes, its stark minimalism, and its conception, which was borne largely by the loss of the great Sinead O’Connor. Shara had a deep affinity for Sinead’s work both musically and politically, and I speak with her about how Sinead’s voice (and I mean that in all shadings of the word) has inspired her own work and her own life, as an artist, a human, and an activist. It’s a great talk with a great artist (and someone who I’ve been listening to for virtually my whole music-listening life). Thank you for listening.
