Being a woman in the music industry was extremely difficult just a few years ago. I wouldn’t say it has gotten any easier, with the number of misogynistic men in power and crazy fanatics, but a shift has definitely happened. A change where women can unapologetically be themselves, but not without judgment.
When a woman hits the top charts, their well-earned accomplishments are usually followed by a tornado of hate. Clear examples are JENNIE and Doechii, who have united with the empowering track “ExtraL,” where they reflect that success speaks louder than words.
JENNIE, originally known for her strong raps in the K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, comes back at full force with Doechii as the perfect addition. This blend of hip-hop and pop declares that women are the future of music, and this movement isn’t gonna stop anytime soon.
