Spotted the token jazz album in the Mercury shortlist by Emma-Jean Thackray is a) about living with AuDHD, b) called Weirdo, and c) about reclaiming the term. Clearly it can’t live up to that (it’s a bit too smooooth for me) but definitely going into my “things that are explicitly ‘weird’” folder.
I’ve noticed a few younger women artists embracing their outsider status in a militant manner recently and I’m here for it.
