PHILADELPHIA — Since moving to Philadelphia from Las Vegas in 2015, Shamir has been an abundantly creative force.
Besides releasing seven albums and running his own label, the indie-pop singer has published a book of visual art called "But I'm A Painter," founded the Bipolar Butterfly clothing line and written an astrology column for online magazine Talkhouse.
Shamir's new album, released on the AntiFragile Music label, is called "Heterosexuality." The album's title "was a joke at first," says the singer. "But now, it makes more sense to call it that because it's about my relationship with the straight world."
