Evolve is the 12th studio album by singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco, released in 2003 (see 2003 in music). The album won DiFranco and Brian Grunert a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package in 2004.[12] This album is more eclectic and stylistically venturous than DiFranco's previous works, experimenting with styles such as jazz and funk.
