The new songs, written by Keizy Sugarh, Shona, and Jezzay speak to issues surrounding sexual violence and gender inequality. Recorded by Chocolate City in Lagos Nigeria, these additions to the album further emphasise the important message of the Voice2Rep campaign, which was facilitated by Accountability Lab Nigeria.

 

Voice to Represent (Voice2Rep) is Nigeria’s flagship campaign to identify, support and connect young talented artists to increase civic awareness through music and advocate for greater accountability, equality and democracy in Nigeria.

 

The project is supported by Luminate and the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure young music artists are heard. Each artist on this album has identified an element of female struggle in their community and explores this theme through their music, asking for societal change in the most powerful way.
