Daughter of Double-Dare

Buy now

When I had the luxury of endless hours to write and sing and record I took on the biggest project of my life to date (with the exception of Tori, of course): Daughter of Double-Dare -- a conceptual CD consisting of eighteen songs and chat-raps -- 73 minutes (!) of music and spoken word vignettes. I included a twenty-page insert that reads like a literary chapbook, a further exploration of how my music and writing intersect. At the heart of DDD is a world view informed by various kinds of feminism, while at the heart of some of the songs the ideology itself receives a good poke.
