‘Twenty-first-century Woman’ is a ground-breaking musical project for International Women’s Day 2019. Its centrepiece is a brand new gospel-style song for women’s voices and band, composed by British singer and songwriter Joanna Forbes L’Estrange with lyrics inspired by Oprah Winfrey’s famous 2018 Golden Globes acceptance speech.
It was recorded at Abbey Road Studio 3 on 22nd November 2018 (St Cecilia’s Day) by stars of London’s West End, singers from Hollywood film soundtracks and an all-female band of top London session musicians.
The recording made history by being the first song written, conducted, sung, played, engineered, produced, mixed and mastered entirely by women.
The 'Twenty-first-century Woman' single was released on 8 March 2019, International Women’s Day, and all proceeds from downloads of the song go to Her Future Coalition, a charity providing shelter, education and employment for survivors of human trafficking and gender violence.
