Storied activist and music production non-profit Red Hot have again come through with a sublime, moving and inspired compilation of music. TRAИƧA includes 46 songs and contributions from over a hundred musicians, including Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Faye Webster, Julien Baker, Andre 3000, Perfume Genius, Yaeji, Arthur Baker, Adrienne Lenker, Fleet Foxes, Lee Ranaldo, Sharon Van Etten and many more, in celebration of the trans community and to bring awareness to trans rights.

TRAИƧA marks one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by Red Hot – a spiritual journey across 8 chapters and 46 songs, spotlighting the gifts of many of the most daring, imaginative trans and non-binary artists working today. It softens the edges of the world we know, and invokes powerful dreams of the futures that might one day thunder from its cracks. The album’s instantly memorable cover speaks to the tension between nature and constructed environments, and the tension of transness in the western gender binary.

Highlights include the folk musicians Hand Habits and Bill Callahan cover Kate Bush’s ‘Deeper Understanding’, Sade contributes ‘Young Lion’, her first new material in many years. L’Rain collaborates with the New York Trans Oral History Project on a cover of two songs by Anohni, who herself collaborates with Moses Sumney on a cover of Sophie’s ‘Is It Cold in the Water?’ Claire Rousay collaborates with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy on ‘How Sweet I Roamed.’
