March 9, 2017 ߝ Hollywood, CA ߝ Today, Vera Blue unveils a brand new version of her single Lady Powers featuring Atlantaߣs hip-hop maverick Kodie Shane: LISTEN HERE. Lifted from Lady Powers | Power Ladies Remix EP, out Friday April 13, the EP features four additional interpretations of Lady Powers by all-female producers TOKiMONSTA, Maya Jane Coles, Alice Ivy and Maria Marcus. Adding new textures and life into Lady Powers, the Australian songstress tapped some of the most exciting local and international talent to take on the track, which originally appeared on her debut album Perennial [July 2017, Capitol Records]. The dreamy production from Alice Ivy, the lush additions from Californian TOKiMONSTA, the deep house meets disco vibes from Maria Marcus, to the after-party-3-am dubstep mix by award-winning Maya Jane Coles all compliment the Lady Powers (feat. Kodie Shane) single on the EP. Vera Blue explains: Lady Powers’ is about not having to use your sexuality to be respected as a woman and to be able to feel comfortable in your own skin without having to change for someone while knowing who you are, your worth and your strength. It’s hard sometimes, especially when you feel vulnerable. You can question who you are to try and suit the desires of another resulting in a loss of dignity and self-respect. My friends empower and inspire me, giving me security and confidence to feel strong and worthy. As women we all have lady powers, but we shouldn’t have to use them to feel wanted or respected. We need to respect ourselves. In doing that, we have true lady powers other than just our bodies. Similar thoughts are reflected by 19-year-old Kodie Shane about Lady Powers who says: Feminism to me, is nothing more and nothing less than the belief in equality for women. I personally feel a responsibility to demonstrate to that we girls have the Power to not only gain equality for women but all sectors of society. I’m super excited to be a part of Vera Blues Lady Powers because it hits home with me. I feel that so many girls in my generation don’t quite understand their power and I wake up every day hoping to shed light on how far Being You and using your God-given power can take you! One of Atlantaߣs freshest, fiercest, and fieriest voices, Kodie Shane offers a fresh take on hip hop, with tightly-wound rhymes, clever lyrics, and ear-worm melodies over buoyant, genre-blurring beats that have become her calling card. She has garnered praise from The Fader, Pitchfork, Complex, Noisey, Paper, NYLON, and more. Having been reviewed by British rock legend Liam Gallagher for his Weekly Music Corner and chosen numerous times by world renowned choreographer Brian Friedman for his dance class performances, Lady Powers has already received international attention. Perennial debuted #6 on the ARIA Album Chart and amassed a GOLD ARIA single with Hold, a triple j Album of the Year nomination, a Top 10 triple j Listeners Album of 2018, and an ARIA Award Nomination for Best Pop Release. In total, Vera Blues music has been streamed over 80 million times from singles such as Hold, Mended, and Regular Touch. Stateside, Vera Blue performed her first sold out headline shows with the likes of PAPER Magazine claiming the Sydney artist is undoubtedly on the path to world domination. Follow Vera Blue: |
