In light of recent Supreme Court rulings, you could be feeling discouraged/shocked/enraged. While it’s aimed squarely at preschool- and elementary-school aged children, Again Again’s new album Your Voice Is Magic, with its clever lyrics featuring progressive messages of inclusion and female empowerment might make you feel better.

The album from duo Anne Montone (a former Portlander) and Jennifer Cooke is out now.
