On her album, “VIRGINITY TESTING”, Chicago-based singer-songwriter Ann Frances plumbs the depths of her romantic relationships with men.
The 25-song, tour de force album is by turns joyful, defiant, funny, dark and poignant.
“VIRGINITY TESTING” is an indie rock tapestry that draws from punk, country, pop, bluegrass, African, folk and R&B.
The album touches on love, the exuberance of bucking sexual mores, the double-standard concerning woman who love sex, the frustration of being related to as a sex object, the legacy of sexual abuse – including how men have helped heal her – infatuation and friendship.
