The Hissing of Summer Lawns, released in 1975, marked a bold departure for Joni Mitchell as she embraced jazz-influenced textures, layered production, and lyrical complexity. Blending social commentary with personal reflection, the album explores themes of femininity, suburbia, and cultural tension. It’s often hailed as one of her most innovative and forward-thinking works.
