Brandi Carlile and Lauren Daigle are among the female artists helping Apple Music highlight the work of visionary female music artists throughout the month of August. For International Women’s Day (March 8), recent Grammy winners Carlile and Daigle have each revealed playlists filled with music from some of the female artists who have inspired them.
Carlile’s playlist includes songs from Patsy Cline, H.E.R., Sheryl Crow, Dolly Parton, Janelle Monae, Maren Morris and Tanya Tucker, while Daigle’s playlist includes works from Lauren Hill, Whitney Houston, Etta James, Anita Baker, Sade, and Sister Sledge.
Other artists revealing playlists include Cardi B, Camila Cabello and Halsey. Also more than 100 Apple Music playlists feature single and multiple female artists, while 3000+ tracks are featured within women-themed playlists, and a complete 24-hour Beats 1 takeover with shows and host-led conversations highlighting content and issues that matter to women worldwide.
Apple also partnered with human rights activist Annie Lennox and the NGO she founded, The Circle, for a Global International Women’s Day short film in support of Global Feminism, featuring famous faces (Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Mary J. Blige, etc) highlighting the injustices still experienced by millions of women and girls on a global level—from misogyny, rape and violence to pay disparity.
