Now could not be a better time to deliver a project that celebrates and champios women and their work. 2018 was the year of the woman; this appropriatley titled and timed release is brilliant concept album focussing on the rich contributions of esteemed female composers. Features works from writers including Sade, Angela Bofill, Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell, Linda Creed, Brenda Russell, Kate Bush (with a maxwell twist), all wrapped in diverse music styles including jazz, classical and gospel, presented musically by Alicia Olatuja.
Alicia's striking and widely seen 2013 solo performance as the African-American lead female vocalist at the second inauguration of America's first-ever elected black president Barack Obama. During her moment in history singing the "The Battle hymn Of The Republic" to a global television audience of millions, Alicia's immense taletnt as a classically trained vocalist was clear for all to see.
