\n\tSheryl Crow<\/a> has released a song about the current political climate under the guidance of President Donald J. Trump<\/a>, referring to him as the \u201cleader of the free world,\u201d and comparing reality to George Orwell\u2019s dystopian \u201c1984\u201d novel. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe acclaimed singer-songwriter debuted the single \u2014 performed alongside her touring band the Real Lowdown \u2014 on Friday. In an Instagram caption, Crow wrote, \u201cWhat\u2019s happening all around us is so unbelievably bizarre, that my fear is we will truly begin to feel like this is normal. And that\u2019s what terrifies me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe upbeat pop-rock track has Crow questioning: \u201cIs it science fiction or prediction wrapped in George Orwell?\/If the news is fake and fear is hate and nothing\u2019s immoral\/ To the leader of the free world, then welcome to the new normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn \u201cThe New Normal,\u201d Crow also comments on artificial intelligence, singing, \u201cYou\u2019re gonna wake up someday\/To a robot that\u2019s in your place\/Like all the predictions say.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn her social posts, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee also took the time to acknowledge her band of 15 years \u2014 comprised of Fred Eltringham (drums, percussion), Audley Freed (electric guitar), Jen Gunderman (keyboards), Robert Kearns (bass), and Peter Stroud (electric guitar). She additionally teased new music with the band.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am so blessed to have the band that I have,\u201d she wrote. \u201cFor years, we have jammed up such cool stuff during sound checks that we decided we go in and start recording as a band. Can\u2019t wait for everyone to hear the new stuff we are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sheryl Crow has released a song about the current political climate under the guidance of President Donald J.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[88,216,18534],"class_list":["post-20399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-sheryl-crow"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
