Kristen Ford - Here's To You Kid feat. Ani DiFranco (single)

Kristen Ford reflects on the making of her newest release "Here's To You Kid was inspired by Pride month and the energy of Summer. The song is about everyone you wanna give a shout out to, loving yourself for following through and not selling yourself short. It's about celebrating the small things and moments in life, like a packed dive bar and a disco ball and the beauty we see in each other we often struggle to recognize in ourselves…Ani's contribution on vocals is a huge part and my favorite element in the song. Ani has killer instincts about how to add elements without it being too perfect and just the right amount of weird and magic sauce. Killer producer."

Recorded in Nashville at The Cabin studios and at Righteous Babe Studios, the track then traveled to multi GRAMMY winning John Driskell Hopkins, founding member of Zac Brown Band for Mixing. Mastering by, GRAMMY nominated, Piper Payne.

From Ani, "i love this grrl so much. her take-no-prisoners approach to singing, playing, living and performing. this new single has a title that encompasses exactly what i wanna say to her right now. i had a total blast working on kristen's whole new album and i’m excited the music is finally getting out there."
