Hello Chicago! From W.BeeZ Chicago and PRX, this is sound opinions. I'm Jim Deorgadas. And I'm Greg Cott. This is sound opinions. I'm Jim Deorgadas.

And I'm Greg Kot. This week singer-songwriter and violinist Amanda Shires

joins us for a live performance. On her latest album, To The Sunset,

she delivers her most literary and powerful lyrics yet,

thanks in part to her degree in poetry.

I went to school to learn to be better at words because I felt initially that I was just operating on instinct only.

I was tired of fighting with myself.

I needed to have reasons for the choices that I make and intentions to go along with that.

We'll also review new albums from hip-hop artist Anderson Pac and

international indie rockers, Art Brute. That's all coming up on Sound Opinions.

You're listening to Sound Opinions and later we're going to talk with country

artist and violinist Amanda Shires about her songwriting process, being a mom,

and more. But first some new music. I've been in my bag and way.

Trying to throw a bag and save.

You can turn your in the base.

Baby, I don't want something to get it.

But let's say, Do. I'm here.

Do what I gotta do, bro, do,

get up in my rear view real.

I can't be here.

Wight and round now, up and strip

I need to That is Tins from the Jim and this artist two three years ago.
