For "Universal Love," a new album released April 6, musicians like Bob Dylan, Kesha, and St. Vincent recorded traditional love songs, with a twist: their pronouns have been changed to reflect same-sex romances.

MPR News host Mike Moen spoke to the Current's Jay Gabler about the significance of this new EP.
