In this post, we will be celebrating International Women’s Day. Our way of celebrating will be very simple—I will share great songs performed by remarkable women artists. I will make a point of sharing music from independent artists only. No big, well-advertised names this time. And yet, I think that the songs are great and maybe even better than the mainstream content. Let me know if you agree.
News:
We will start a new trend. When I share music, I will provide a link to the playlist where the song can be found as well as its position on the playlist. By listening to the playlists, you will be able to do your part in helping me promote them. At the same time, I suggest that you use this opportunity to check out and save amazing songs that you can discover there. Remember, however, two things: 1) try not to do too many skips and 2) do not listen “too much.” Moderation is key when it comes to using Spotify. It really is.
Hint: If you don’t want to search for the song’s position on the playlist, just type the artist’s name in the search bar above the playlist. This applies if you are using the Spotify app, as the search option is not available in the browser.
Music Picks:
We begin with rock music. The next song comes from France. The performance is outstanding, the mix is awesome, and, in general, everything is great about this song. I love the lyrics too.

We continue with an emerging talent from my hometown of Montreal. This young lady is writing great songs, and I wish her the best of luck with her musical endeavors.

The next song comes from London. It is featured on my Fringe playlist, where I collect music that sounds different. I hope that you will like this song as much as I do. There is always great sound coming from Great Britain.

Final Thoughts:
I must say that knowing about so many fantastic independent artists feels really awesome. Discovering new talents is very exciting, and I thank everyone for sending their music to me. My special appreciation goes to the ladies whose music allowed me to make this post and to the many talented women artists featured on my playlists whose music I could not mention today. Keep making great music. It is a pleasure to listen to it.
