I am going to do…
a few features relating to International Women’s Day. On 8th March, we will all be asked to #EmbraceEquity. Imagining a world where there is gender equality. Although steps are being made, there is still disparity across all industries and professions. That is definitely the case with music. I am going to focus on particular women and albums in future features. I keep saying the best music is being made by women. That has been the case for many years now. Here, I combine songs from the best albums made by women/female-led bands from this and last year. As I plan more playlists to celebrate the brilliant women across music, this one showcases the tremendous albums where female artists are definitely at the forefront. It is a shame there is still not proper equality when it comes to women’s rights. From festival bookings through to recognition in the industry, there does need to be change. They have been producing the most exciting, original and powerful music for a very very long time. That is going to continue…
FOR years to come.
