Happy Pride Month! It probably feels like a lifetime ago when you last heard from Sophie B. Hawkins [Wikipedia]. Well, surprise! Sophie has a new album out, Free Myself [YT playlist], her first in over a decade. Here she speaks with Eric Dahl earlier this year about her new album and her career. [21m] Sophie B. Hawkins emerges from a 'personal tsunami' with new album 'Free Myself' [STL Today] Daily Beast interview with Sophie about the past 30 years.

Just for fun, compiled by Sophie herself, the Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover playlist, with 13 renditions of the song in studio and live by Sophie.

Also, from The Guardian earlier this year, ‘I’m glad people call it a lesbian anthem’: how Sophie B Hawkins made Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

Free Myself is a really great album. It's gone straight into rotation for me for the summer.
