Adi’s recent album, Lotus Glow, is her most political album yet, particularly on issues facing women of color. Building on the album’s success, the deluxe edition, set for a May 2024 release, features both new versions of “Dumpalltheguns”, which are issued as a global call for peace and empowerment. And for Americans, it’s an even louder call to action: a call to DUMP ALL THE GUNS!
With Lotus Glow amassing over 30 million streams and achieving a sell-out vinyl release, Adi’s artistic journey has captivated global audiences and garnered acclaim from press and radio outlets around the world. Her captivating live performances have drawn international acclaim, laying the groundwork for her much-anticipated 2024 tour across the US, Brazil and Europe.
Danielle Ponder, whose background as a public defender and social justice advocate informs her artistry, lends a compelling depth to “Dumpalltheguns,” underscoring the song’s relevance as a beacon of peace in tumultuous times. The same is true of Jitwam, who’s work strives to marry incisive political commentary with deep introspection. These partnerships, rooted in shared values and a passion for change, set a powerful tone for Adi’s forthcoming tour and reaffirms her status as a formidable force on the global music stage.
As “Dumpalltheguns” takes center stage this International Women’s Day, the release serves as a rallying cry for global peace, a testament to the power of art as a catalyst for change. With Adi’s upcoming tour and the anticipation of the deluxe Lotus Glow edition, audiences worldwide are invited to join in this harmonious movement for a brighter, more equitable future.
