Sad they're only 2 shows in the US. Her new album is my favorite album of 2016 so far. I'm hoping she will do a full US tour in 2017. It's been such a long time since she has toured here.

two shows? Come on PJ, hit the Bay Area!!!

"They're gonna put a Walmart here."

Performing "Community of Hope" in a rare TV appearance.

I miss the days when she needed the money . Been way too long since the U.S. has gotten a proper PJH tour!

I just moved out of Anacostia in Southeast DC, when the f**k was she there????!!! Anybody from DC, knows about Anacostia, and I can't see her walking the streets of S.E. DC!!!! It's straight up HOOD!!! Anybody from DC, up on here?

Lyrics: ''A restlessness took hold my brain / And questions I could not hold back / An orange monkey on a chain''

I've been listening to this song since her album came out, having no idea she was singing about DC, but it makes perfect sense now. I currently live in NW, but I'm not from here. I can honestly say I've only driven through SE twice in the entire time Ive lived here and once was by accident.

First time I saw this video. Two or three tiny parts of the footage looks like its taken in NY instead of DC. I love the "one sit-down restaurant" - McDonalds reference.

She's taken a lot of shit for this vid. Wonderful piece of art.

And remember... THEY'RE GONNA PUT A WALMART HERE!!

A community of hope for sure. We all need a Walmart to make things right.

Hope Six is still one of my favorite albums of this year. For some reason, it didn't get the critical acclaim as some of her other albums. It has something to say with a unifying theme, but the songs are really diverse with different influences, rock, electronic, strings and ballads but all with surprisingly accessible melodies.

I'm still hoping she will do more dates in 2017 in the US. I read that she doesn't really like touring and performing live which is a shame because she's a great performer.

How dare she. Nothing to see here. Just keep yer eyes on the brainless zombie box. Look at the tits on that.
