Vinyl LP pressing. Trouble is a patchwork of sorts: it's 11 songs are not only eclectic in genre, but play like stitched-together vignettes, fly-on-the-wall scenes in which Gina describes meeting a stranger on a train, or a flare up with her teenage daughter, or the nostalgia of driving past a certain part of your neighborhood that's been unchanged for as long as you can remember. It's the politics of the everyday, a work that is feminist not because of slogans or placards, but because it's a candid portrait of a female artist simply existing. "It's a bit out there, a bit off the tracks, and I always like to go there," says Gina about the album's diaristic undertones. "I unofficially subtitled the album 'Trouble I've Caused and Trouble I'm In', so the songs are based around that feeling-that dangerous place to be." As such, the connecting factor that links all the songs on Trouble together isn't one single ideology or theme or topic, but Gina herself. It's her vision, informed by her status as a rock icon, her voice as a forward-thinking artist, and her perspective as someone who just thinks life should be a bit of a laugh sometimes. For a musician who has had such an impact on her genre, it's downright life-affirming to realize that she still has so much to share with her audience-and frankly, Trouble is just cracking the surface. "These songs came to me like a radio tuning, the airwaves going along, and I just plucked them out of the air. Something just clicks in the atmosphere, and I just take it. I'm not writing an opus about one thing. I'm writing an opus about being me."
