Green Features 23 Up-and-Coming Singer-Songwriters
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 19, 2018) -- Nashville’s
all-female singer-songwriter collective, Song
Suffragettes, pointedly address gender inequality and sexual misconduct
against women with a new song aptly-titled “Time’s Up” and an
accompanying music video. The project and the women involved give a direct and
unapologetic voice to the injustice and mistreatment of women everywhere, both
inside and outside the entertainment business.
The song and music video have already been embraced by iTunes and
Apple Music, who added the song into their top playlist: A-List Country. Radio
Disney Country will premiere the song today and feature it on the Radio Disney
Country Spotlight show airing on Radio Disney. The music video (23.7K views) arrived
(Jan 18) on VEVO and you can watch it here:

"Me and the girls were watching the Golden Globes, drinking
wine and wearing all black. During one of the many inspiring speeches that
night, I just felt the weight of what was happening -- how I was going to tell
my daughters and granddaughters about this one day,” said Kalie Shorr, a co-writer on the song and CMT Next Women of Country member whose song “Fight Like A Girl”
made waves in 2016 for its female empowering message, “It came together so
easily and flawlessly because the amazing girls of Song Suffragettes were so passionate about the cause and willing to
move around their schedules to make it happen. The team behind Song
Suffragettes hustled so hard to make this project come to life making our idea
a reality. I have been so inspired by this whole reckoning that’s been
happening and it just felt so obvious to connect that to what we do at
Song Suffragettes.”
The women of Song Suffragettes are using their unique platform to add their voices to the current conversation on gender inequality and sexual harassment prevalent throughout America and on a local level within the country music industry. Earlier this week, Rolling Stone Country released an article discussing the history of sexual misconduct and harassment in country music radio: “They reveal an environment where artists and other music professionals – especially women – are expected to be overly accessible and use sexuality as currency when visiting stations and meeting with certain program directors, or attending industry events, in the hope of having their song added into rotation.” - Marissa R. Moss, Rolling Stone CountryShoutout to @AppleMusic for supporting our #TimesUp video and song!— Song Suffragettes (@songsuffragette) 26 January 2018
