Big Femme Energy, filled with affirmations of self-empowerment, autonomy and strength, is Femme It Forward’s latest step towards fostering more inclusivity in the music industry. The first of its kind compilation album of original songs features a female writer on every song, and is led by an all female team of artists, creatives and executives such as Heather Lowery (Executive Producer), Annie Bercy (Video Director),Katherine Realpe (Behind the Scenes Director), Marcella “Ms. Lago” Araica (Mixing Engineer), Piper Payne (Mastering Engineer) and more.To further expand on Femme It Forward’s overall commitment to infusing women throughout all areas of the business’s operation, the conglomerate has also joined forces with distribution partner Stem, and Parx Studios to develop its creative content.
 
“Big Femme Energy 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.” said Heather Lowery, Executive Producer of Big Femme Energy. “From our all female show lineups and the announcement of our Next Gem Femme mentorship program to the release of Big Femme Energy Volume 1; 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.”
 
The skillfully curated album juxtaposes a soulful sound on tracks like “While I’m Alive” by Lauren Jauregui and “Who Knew” 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.
 
Amazon Music, PUMA, and Glossier will further amplify Big Femme Energy with the release of new original content from the making of the album. Femme It Forward is also committed to donating a portion of the proceeds of all album sales to Next Gem Femme, its annual  mentorship program focused on enhancing the futures of women of color by providing them with access and opportunities.
