“Today, sister, is the day, when we’re not letting things go” croons New Orleans-based heavyweight of the garage-blues scene Ghalia Volt – seductive, alluring, enticing, as she draws the listener into ‘Shout Sister Shout’, the first single from her upcoming album of the same name. Don’t let the title fool you.
‘Shout Sister Shout’ is no aggressive rallying cry, rather a calm, sultry, intoxicating promise – as long as we keep speaking up, one day gender equality will be a reality. There remains a strength to this composed empowerment, felt in the steady, ever-present drumbeat, and the gospel chorus echo of the vocals.
“It’s a song encouraging women to speak loud for what they deserve…Fight back, stare back, scream back! It takes courage, but it’s rewarding and we need this for future generations.”
– Ghalia Volt
‘Shout Sister Shout’ is available to stream right now – so get on that! The album is due to drop on October 6th.
