Decca Records has recently released the album Good Night Songs for Rebel Girls, celebrating extraordinary women in music and created in partnership with Rebel Girls, the global multi-platform edutainment brand focused on inspiring and instilling confidence in a generation of girls around the world. Good Night Songs for Rebel Girls features covers of both contemporary and historic singles that transcend genre and geography, penned by iconic female artists from Alicia Keys to Carole King. Performed by a multigenerational line-up of female vocalists, the album draws inspiration from the girl-driven narrative of the New York Times – bestselling book series and podcast, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls to empower and uplift girls around the world through music. The album includes the legendary Joan Jett, the queen of rock ‘n’ roll and the godmother of punk, who has recorded a brand-new version of her track ‘Fresh Start’ exclusively for Decca and Rebel Girls.
I have caught up with one of the talents who have contributed to this record with a beautiful cover of The Only Way is Up: Skye Edwards, sometimes simply Skye, a British singer-songwriter (born in East London) who began her career in 1994 when she and the Godfrey brothers formed Morcheeba.
