Full Description
Across the genres, across the generations, across the board, this book presents over one hundred inspirational albums by women, from top-selling hits to the indie and obscure.
Classic Album Sundays – the world’s most popular album listening event and content platform – initiated an #AlbumsByWomen campaign in support of International Women’s Day 2018. The hashtag soon grew into a movement, devoted to women’s musicality and the power of the female voice. Collaborators shared photographs and commentary on their favourite albums by female artists, gathered together here in a single volume.
Pick up any other book on the theme of ‘Albums You Must Hear Before You Die’, and you’ll confront a heavy gender bias. This project redresses the gender imbalance: an overdue celebration of women’s creativity and musicianship within a male-dominated sphere. It features over a hundred submissions from high-profile musicians including Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason, Peter Hook, Nina Kraviz, Black Madonna, Gilles Peterson, Rankin, KT Tunstall, John Grant and more.
