Girl Power
Heard a really interesting and entirely unexpected version of ‘Poker Face’ on the radio this afternoon that got me thinking…pop music these days is oozing with strong, confident, independent women – a departure from the boy-band-strewn harmonies of the late nineties, early noughties.
So I thought I’d post a selection of my favourites:
- Lady Gaga – Poker Face (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge – said interesting and unexpected version)
- Ladyhawke – Paris Is Burning
- Adele – Hometown Glory
- Gabriella Cilmi – Sweet About Me
- Kate Nash – Pumpkin Soup
- Bat for Lashes – Daniel
And in case you thought I was a hater….with male support (or…guidance?):
- Lily Allen (Mark Ronson) – Oh My God
- Amy Winehouse (Mark Ronson) – Valerie
- Jordin Sparks (Chris Brown) – No Air
Finally – the ultimate girl power track:
Any glaringly obvious absences were intentional. :p
