Gender bias arises in h all aspects of today’s society, and the music industry is sadly no exception. Major music outlets including festival line-ups, radio, and playlists on streaming platforms, criminally underrepresent and under-appreciate female talent. So, in light of tackling this outdated and shameful male domination, we have have selected five female artists who have truly earned your attention…
ELIZA
@elizalovechild
Forging her own path away from her previous pop profile ‘Eliza Doolittle’, ELIZA’s album ‘A Real Romantic’ provides jazzy and sultry beats alongside hazy vocals. The intricate album serves as a unique escape, one which prompts feelings of tranquillity, romance, and intimacy. Check out her silky performance on ‘A COLORS SHOW’ to really get sense of how far she’s come.
Greentea Peng
@greenetapeng
This effortlessly cool, south London singer’s sound is summarised in her name. Greentea Peng’s golden style mixes the nostalgic with the new, meaning she is truly one of a kind. Her music oozes bohemian and hippy vibes, undeniably serving as inspiration to embrace that free-spirited lifestyle her sound grips so well. The expertly crafted music video for ‘Mr. Sun (miss da sun) perfectly captivates her sure to turn heads, earthy style, she’s ideal for that 4am chillout.
CHLOBOCOP
@chlobocoppp
At just 21 years old, Glaswegian rapper CHLOBOCOP is just getting started. Her unique and distinctive sound is like no other, providing blurred vocals on trap-inspired beats. Her rapidly expanding fan base means she is truly on route to becoming a modern-day icon, someone you want to be on board with.
Joy Crookes
@joycrookes
With every new release and performance, Joy Crookes reminds us of why she’s one of the most exciting upcoming female acts to watch out for. Having only recently emerged from the music scene, she’s already accomplished a great deal, with international and festival tour dates. Her music will lift your mood with its classical beauty and relatable lyrics. Crookes is also impassioned in speaking of her immigrant descent, admirably using her Bangladeshi and Irish background to help stimulate both her music and visuals. See her 2020 Brit Awards which so beautifully exhibits her cultural appreciation.
Lyza Jane
@lyza.jane_
Model and singer Lyza Jane has a sound not so easily defined, something she describes as “slow burning menacing pop music brushed with touches of brooding trip-hop”. With collaborations from artists such as Milkavelli and Sniff, Lyza’s angelic voice offers honeyed tones on every track she features. See also @loki_by_lyza her handmade jewellery collections.
