Everything in waves. Always this way. The girls have hit the fore. Like a storm hitting. I have never known so many good female singer songwriters all on top form. The songs, the albums, the voices. Stunning and life affirming music. The crackle of intention and the vicious taking of the bull by its horns in the singing and the lyrics and every single molecule of music entering my ears. The girls are leading the way. The boys have been left behind.
Women are often second best in such scenes and are not fully given the same opportunities, or it is purely sexually biased, fuelled by image and blatant eroticism. Now there are many female artists simply writing the best and most challenging music. It forces its way through, it reaches the ears. It satisfies. Nobody can argue. Not with that.
Yes, there are many pretty sweet young things making music, and it doesn't go against them. The power of the music, the messages, the art, the desire behind much of it is what makes it win. I can never hear enough life changing music, beautiful sounds shaping the world around me, but I am fond of these bird like angels filling my senses. Long may they reign. Good work. The girls.
