Ezra Furman has announced a tour and returned with a new song called “Point Me Toward the Real.” She’s now signed to Anti- Records (and Bella Union outside of North America), which has released the song produced by John Congleton and featuring additional vocals from Shannon Lay and Debbie Neigher. Listen to the track and find her tour itinerary below.
“This is a neo-soul song about getting released from a psychiatric hospital, which has never happened to me,” Furman said in a statement. “But really it’s a song about what you do right after abuse, imprisonment, a brush with death. Who do you call when it’s supposedly over? Where do you go? How do you know what you want?”
She continued: “We’ve all recently been going through something terrifying. We’ve all made friends with death in the last two years. When I look to the future, I want to know who has my back? Whose back do I have? And what is real, what and who can I rely on? Point me toward the real; there’s no other direction I want to go.”
