About this listen

 Christine Anu has been a part of our lives since the early 90’s, in fact Em forced her dad Vincie to drive her directly to Brash’s to buy her debut album ‘Stylin’ Up’ after hearing her single ‘Party’ on the radio in 1995. Today she sits down with Em to talk about her role as Hermes in Em’s favourite musical ‘Hadestown’ which is currently playing in Sydney and moves to Melbourne from May 8. Inside they’ll talk about how groundbreaking her career was in the 90’s, the toll this role takes on her after every performance, plus a side quest about one of Em’s ‘Rage and Rainbow’ vagine costumes catching Christine’s eye mid conversation. Em also talks about why you need to make the effort to see Christine in this show if you can, how much of a trailblazer she was as an Indigenous Torres Strait Islander woman dealing with the music industry in the 90’s, plus the journey she’s been on to achieve self acceptance, while navigating grief, perimenopause and so much more. It’s a deeply moving chat that’s bound to inspire you and make you love Christine even more than you already do. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
