Description
From Far Away continues Starr's interest in rap and folk forms as a way of protesting social ills of the 21st century.
Kinnie Starr cares about the pornification of culture, environmental degradation and water rights, so she writes songs. With her seventh album, From Far Away, Kinnie is again fusing different folk formsâAmerican, African American and Aboriginalâto protest against the abuses of the 21st Century, from the emotional ills of contemporary culture to the oil and gas industryâs misuse of fresh water; her songs speak to a new generation of socially and environmentally engaged citizens. âI use rap forms and folk forms to try and communicate what Iâm interested in, which is primarily the health and well being of people, and that spills out into the health and well being of the environment we occupy,â she recently told !earshot magazine. In addition to touring from Ontario to B.C in support of the album, Kinnie will be joining David Suzukiâs Blue Dot Tour to promote the need for healthy food, fresh air and clean water for all.
