In this sense, Language Barrier is an album about love as an act of resistance. I also wanted to approach genre as a barrier then break it down. The album seamlessly moves between indie and classic rock, hip hop and ambient soul. To have an opportunity to work with Meshell, The Indigo Girls, Amelia, Hiss Golden Messengerand all on one recordis a dream come true, shirlette says. SugarQube Records is the brainchild of identical twins shirlette and Shorlette Ammons, and Language Barrier is their debut release.
