I wonder: do you listen to mostly music by male artists or by female artists?
We were inspired by the great Australian band Spiderbait and their recent compilation 'Sounds in the Key Of J' that celebrates all the best songs sung by their female vocalist Janet as opposed to the songs sung by their male vocalist Kram.
In a band that has two lead singers, Kram, male, drums and singer AND Janet, female, bass player and singer, you get an incredible balance of both sounds.
This compilation was conceived as a celebration and was driven by Kram who says:
“Janet's talent is so undeniable, it's easy to forget that she was a bit of a trailblazer in the blokey 90s scene.
"In the '90s, women songwriters were few and far between, and thankfully it’s not that way anymore."
Which brings us to this chat about female artists.
We wanted to tackle the topic head on, chat about our favourite female artists, about some inconsistencies in the music industry, the imbalance toward male skewed artists, some startling statistics and our thoughts about unconscious bias and what we can do to address the situation.
Of course we took on a challenge to share a favourite female artist album and get each others opinions upon our first listen.
Let us know your favourite female artists as well as your thoughts on the episode:
