The Sisterhood

The Sisterhood is Sarah Jane Morris’ personal tribute to, and celebration of, twelve female artists prominent in the music world during the last century. These swashbuckling pioneers; Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Miriam Makeba, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, Rickie Lee Jones, Annie Lennox, Kate Bush and Sinead O’Connor have all left an enormous musical footprint which stands the test of time.

A labour of love which she has been contemplating for two decades, the project acknowledges and honours female artists, past and present, who have inspired Sarah Jane’s own musical journey.

Wonderfully arranged and stylistically diverse, Sarah Jane and her co-writer/co-producer, Tony Rémy pull off a remarkable feat of crafting twelve songs which tell each artist’s story while simultaneously capturing their musical and lyrical essence.

Sarah Jane Morris

Sarah Jane Morris straddles rock, blues, jazz and soul with a goosebump-raising four octave range that rumbles from the heels of her size 8 shoes to the tips of her flame-red mane. With The Communards, Morris topped the UK charts in 1986 with ‘Don’t Leave Me This Way’, and has since gained a devoted audience for her live shows. 'A voice that can excite shivers of passion and delight... Soaring, swooping, sensual and sophisticated, this voice is more than a style, it's a force of nature... Torch song, soul standard or smoky blues, the message remains constant: human passion with a dazzling voice' (Neil Spencer, The Observer).
