Known for blending sharp lyricism, fearless authenticity, and an infectious sense of fun, Ford continues to carve out a unique space in the independent music landscape. Pinto Luxe serves as both a companion piece and a celebration. She showcases new interpretations of beloved songs while highlighting the raw power of her live looping show.
The release is anchored by a reimagined version of "Whiplash," remixed by Dan Konopka, drummer and founding member of the GRAMMY Award-winning band OK Go. Konopka's remix injects fresh energy into the track while preserving the emotional core and driving spirit that made the original resonate with listeners.
Fans will also be treated to a brand-new music video for "POP POP FIZZ FIZZ," a poolside and flamingo pink visual companion that captures the song's playful, rebellious spirit and unmistakable queer joy.
Rounding out the release are three exclusive live tracks, offering an intimate glimpse into the connection Ford has built with audiences through years of relentless touring and unforgettable performances.
"Pinto (Luxe)" is about expanding the 12 songs to include 19 tracks such as True Blood (as seen on the Kelly Clarkson Show), and some rare singles and remixes. "Pinto is a ragey, happy, pop of energy to make your Pride month sparkle," says Ford. "These songs have traveled with me and my audience through a lot of miles, and it felt exciting to revisit them."
Released through Righteous Babe Records, the label founded by Ani DiFranco and known for championing independent artists with uncompromising creative vision, Pinto LUXE continues Ford's tradition of making music that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
