Full Album show of
March 20, 2020
Irish
music artist Jeannette Byrne releases her fourth album ‘Women Of The One
World’ internationally on 27th March 2020. Women Of The One World is a
concept album which hosts a collection of covers from inguential female
artists of the 1960s and 1970s, many of whom continue their great work
today. With songs from Bucy Sainte Marie, Joan Baez, Sandy Denny, Judy
Collins and Laura Nyro, Jeannette Byrne draws inspiration from women who put
themselves at the forefront of progressive movements. An established
performer of the French chanson on sold out stages across Europe, Jeannette
has also performed widely across Irish national television and radio. In
1998, Jeannette Byrne’s frst EP ‘Une Femme’ was voted one of the top 5
records of the year by The Irish Times. 1999 saw the release of Jeannette’s
critically acclaimed frst studio album ‘Elegy’ followed by her 2005 album
‘Cafe Diva’.
Inspired by the centenary marking 100 years of women having the right to
vote, Jeannette Byrne began to think about the female singers who had
championed humanitarian causes throughout her life. The album cleverly links
tracks from these female artists together in a compelling way, a breath of
fresh air in the vacuous singles market we know today.
Songs from these powerful female voices are played by a 40-piece orchestra
thanks to arrangements from Cian Boylan. Jeannette’s collaboration with Cian
Boylan comes amid his recent success arranging songs for Sinead O’Connor at
Feile 2019, receiving millions of YouTube views after they were performed on
The Late Late Show.
At a time with resurgent global unrest, Jeannette Byrne hopes these songs
will fnd their way to inspire a new generation of listeners. Timeless
American songs like Bucy St Marie’s Oscar winning ‘Up Where We Belong’ and
Joan Baez’s ‘Love Song To A Stranger’ are at home on the same record as the
UK’s Sandy Denny and her classic ‘Who Knows Where The Time Goes’. Jeannette
Byrne captures their universal language of music with fresh takes and twists
all round.
Jeannette comments: “This is a nostalgic
album yet the universal themes of life, love and loss are eternal:
beautifully composed, they are as relevant today as they were then.”
Since 2003, Jeannette Byrne has sold out shows at The Festival of World
Cultures, The Sugar Club and The Helix in Dublin, the Wexford Music
Festival, as well as putting on shows at The National Concert Hall in
Dublin. Jeannette will be coming to London
on Thursday 26th March for her album launch party at the Court in Soho.
