Femme It Forward is celebrating the girls with their new compilation album Big Femme Energy Volume 1!
Today (July 9), the company released the 11-track project that features songs by Tayla Parx, Lauren Jauregui, Kiana Ledé, Rapsody, Tierra Whack, Ambré, SAYGRACE, Baby Rose, Muni Long, and Sinéad Harnett to give ladies around the world a soundtrack to help inspire them to be the best versions of themselves.
Heather Lowery, Executive Producer of Big Femme Energy, says that Femme It Forward is “an expression of the unique duality of power and delicacy. It’s about family, love, sisterhood and the experiences that connect us as women. It celebrates the power, and achievements of women and girls, while sharing stories of insecurities, vulnerabilities and navigating mistakes, which every young woman can feel empowered by. It pays homage to those who came before us while paying it forward to those who will come after us.”
“Femme It Forward is truly a vessel to promote messages of intersectional feminism and empowerment while increasing the numbers for women in music across the board – from the artists, producers, writers and engineers to the executives and creatives behind the scenes. We’re moving beyond just live events and entertainment, we’re changing the face of the music industry,” she continues.
Pay your respect to Mother Nature! 🌿✊🏽I hope this song reminds you of the power you hold to be your true authentic self. Extremely proud to have my company Parx Studios do all of the creative for this project! #BigFemmeEnergy streaming everywhere now! @FemmeItForward pic.twitter.com/6uEjUF0w8G

The company’s press team illustrates the 11-track album, which offers a melting pot of styles and sounds. The skillfully curated album juxtaposes a soulful sound on tracks like “While I’m Alive” by Lauren Jauregui and “Who New” by Tierra Whack, with powerful, high-energy tracks like “Cut ‘Em Off” by Kiana Ledé; all with an underlying theme of empowering women to embrace their best selves.
Paying homage to industry veterans that have paved the way was a common theme throughout the album with artists like Rapsody proclaiming “I think I’m Mary J, always did it how I wanted” in reference to Mary J. Blige on “Iconic” and SAYGRACE sampling Brandy’s “Have You Ever” on “If There Really Is A God”. From Tayla Parx’s unapologetic proclamation that this world would be nothing without women on the opening track “Mother Nature.” to Sinéad Harnett’s reminder that “inside you’ve always been enough” on the outro “Crown” Big Femme Energy is full of quintessential summer anthems that will inspire women for generations to come.
In addition to inspiring their listeners, Femme It Forward commits themselves to giving back to the larger community. A portion of the album proceeds will be donated to Next Gem Femme, an annual mentorship program focused on enhancing the futures of women of color by providing them with access and opportunities. This is not unique for the entertainment company, who centers its mission in “celebrating, educating, and empowering the industry’s most creative and accomplished female visionaries through multi-format, multi-market consumer experiences. [They] produce music festivals, concerts, original music, original content, comedy shows, philanthropic endeavors, panels, college engagements and more.”
