So I totally missed this holiday, yesterday. Thank you Rick Ro$$... Anyway, to celebrate women's struggle for equal pay, recognition, and advancement on all fronts, I decided to post some videos of female musicians that are awesome. And if you permit me an observation, perhaps a naive one, I think groups involving or wholly comprising women that do not conform to the pop stereotypes of sexualization and the like have been growing more and more common in the music world. I take this to be a sign of progress in the right direction. Anyway, on to the music.
White Lung's new single, "Drown with the Monster" just came out - and it's one of my favorite songs of the year. So much passion here:
Savages' song "Shut Up" is my favorite off the album Silence Yourself from last year. I ended up being not too crazy about the album as a whole. Nevertheless, this song is awesome. Savages is awesome. This video runs like a short film and is dope as hell: I love their political edge. Check it:
Dum Dum Girls' most recent album, Too True wasn't that great in my opinion. Still, there were some good songs there. One of my favorites was "Are You Okay?" which got a great short film attached to it. Enjoy:
Warpaint is a really cool band that I discovered this year. I love their newest album and I especially dig the track "Keep it Healthy" performed live here:
St. Vincent is the stage name of Annie Clark. I'm not going to lie, I have a huge crush on her. She's fucking awesome. One of my favorite albums of the year thus far, one of my favorite musicians of the last few years. Here she is showing off her dope guitar skills:
Some other great acts with women or a strong female lead that I dig the hell out of:
