ANOHNI Reflects on Her Climate Crisis Anthem “4 Degrees” and the Fight for the Planet
ANOHNI possesses one of music’s most powerful voices, particularly when it comes to protecting the environment. In late 2015, the UK-born, New York City-based artist addressed the climate crisis head-on with “4 Degrees,” a paradoxically joyful synth-pop single from her debut solo album, HOPELESSNESS. Arriving as world leaders hashed out the landmark Paris climate agreement, “4 Degrees” refers to a projected increase in the Earth’s temperature (in Celsius) over the next century, which would devastate the planet’s ecology.
