In recent years, the music industry has seen a resurgence of powerful female friendships and collaborations. These bonds have been forged through book clubs, anthems, and a shared determination to overcome the industry’s notorious sexist attitudes.
Hollywood star and singer-songwriter Jennifer Lopez recently spoke out about the support she has received from fellow musicians like Lady Gaga and Shakira. “We women in the music industry need to stick together,” she told interviewer Oprah Winfrey. “There’s so much misogyny and sexism, but we can change that by supporting each other.”
Indeed, women in music have been using their platform to spread messages of empowerment and unity. Take, for example, the hit song “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5 featuring Cardi B, which features a diverse range of female celebrities, including Gal Gadot, Ellen DeGeneres, and Camila Cabello, singing the empowering chorus: “Girls like you / Love fun, yeah me too / What I want when I come through / I need a girl like you, yeah yeah.”
But it’s not just about bringing together famous women on screen. Across the music industry, female artists have been celebrating each other’s successes and supporting one another in a variety of ways. One particularly notable example is the book club started by pop star and actress Emma Watson. The club, called Our Shared Shelf, focuses on books that promote gender equality and empower women. Members of the club include singer and activist Beyoncé, actress and author Reese Witherspoon, and author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
As with any group of friends, music industry women have their own unique challenges and shared struggles. For example, female musicians are often judged by their looks, rather than their talent, and are sometimes expected to conform to traditionally feminine attitudes and behaviors. But by forming supportive bonds with each other and using their platform to promote messages of empowerment, these women are showing that solidarity and strength can go a long way.
In conclusion, the power of female friendship in the music industry cannot be overstated. Through book clubs, anthems, and a shared commitment to empowering women, these musicians are making it clear that they are stronger together than they are apart. As consumers of media, we can support this movement by seeking out and uplifting female artists, and by paying attention to the messages they promote in their music.
