Harriet Constable learned a lot about the real life of Anna Maria della Pietà — that she grew up in an orphanage, that she was a star violinist and a favored student of Antonio Vivaldi. But in her new novel, The Instrumentalist, Constable also merges fact with fiction to tell the story of Anna Maria's synesthesia and musical talents. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Scott Simon about Anna Maria's life, the challenges and excitement of the classical music world at the time, and what we make of Vivaldi today.

A unique twist on a really cool song.

Today, Chris Stapleton released a new music video for "Think I’m In Love With You," which was included on his 2023 Higher album.

A solo write by Chris, the song definitely leans into the funkier, more soulful sensibilities you'll hear sprinkled into so much of the Kentucky native's music, and is simply a sweet love song that of course shows off his incredible vocals.

The video was directed by Running Bear, choreographed by JaQuel Knight and produced by Strange Arcade, and stars actor Andre Royo (The Wire, Empire, etc.). It flashes through a man's life...

**The Evolution of L’Trimm: From Atlantic Records to Artistic Independence**. L’Trimm, the Miami Bass duo comprising Lady Tigra and Bunny D, epitomizes the transformative nature of the music industry, particularly in the realm of female-led hip-hop. Emerging from the vibrant Miami music scene in the late 1980s, Tigra and Bunny signed with Atlantic Records as teenagers, an association that would ultimately shape their careers and artistic identities. Their debut album, *Grab It!* (1988), featured the hit single “Cars With The Boom,” which achieved notable commercial success, peaking at No. 54 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, despite this early success, their journey was not without challenges, leading to a consequential split with their major label.

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
