International Women’s Day Show
Hi team!
In honour of March 8th, International Women’s Day, Stylus Radio takes a look at just a few of the women who have made music awesome. Obviously, this would be a lot longer show if it were to be comprehensive… we’re only one hour folks. So I give you what I can. It’s a range of eras and genres, as well as perspectives from women; some songs lament while others are more in that “funky empowerment” category.

Chaka Khan – I’m Every Woman
