The new single is the musical version of DiFranco’s new book The Knowing,<\/em> which is out March 7th. “The Knowing” is Difranco’s take on a lullaby, inviting young readers to ponder the distinction between outer forms of identity and the inner light of consciousness. The book encapsulates ideas that DiFranco feels strongly about sharing with her own children and all children: the authority to respect the world around you with love and compassion, and the strength of individual power and collective responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always relish a new challenge and creative adventure in life. Making a book for young readers was one such. I\u2019m hoping that young people will connect with the message I am sending out in this book – that underneath all the labels and social and cultural signifiers, we are spirit, we are love incarnate, we are one”<\/p>\nAni Difranco<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Widely considered a feminist icon, Grammy winner Ani DiFranco is the mother of the DIY movement, being one of the first artists to create her own record label in 1990. While she has been known as the \u201cLittle Folksinger,\u201d her music has embraced punk, funk, hip hop, jazz, soul, electronica and even more distant sounds. Her most recent albums include 2021\u2019s Revolutionary Love<\/em> and the July 2022 25th Anniversary Edition reissue of her iconic live album Living In Clip<\/em>, both on her own label Righteous Babe Records.
