Album Notes & Community Reviews

Delivering a fiercely independent feminist perspective within the rhythm and blues landscape, 'Women's Love Rights' is a profoundly rebellious and anthemic soul record. The vocalist's impassioned, sometimes angry delivery is perfectly matched by the tight, progressive funk instrumentation characteristic of the Holland-Dozier-Holland production team. It operates essentially as a conceptual statement on romantic autonomy and female empowerment.
