Pop singer and devout feminist Lisa Murray pours emotion into hard-hitting new release ‘Woman in a World,’ motivated by a spate of violence against women in the UK and Ireland, followed quickly by the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in the USA.

Having heard, in quick succession, multiple heartbreaking stories in the press about murders and violence against women, Lisa tried to craft a tweet, a post or an Instagram story about her feelings. Finding this inadequate, she turned eventually to write in her most natural and authentic way, in the form of a song. With lyrics written predominantly in January 2022, ‘Woman in a World’ was updated with a second verse later in the year, after the Supreme Court in the US overturned Roe vs. Wade abortion rights law.

“‘Woman in a World’ is a reflection of the inner thoughts and feelings I have as a woman in today’s day and age. At a time when biases, sexism and brutal violence against women still happens across the globe, this song is an uncomfortable expression of the things people don’t talk openly about. My aspiration for the song is to raise awareness about the fears and frustrations of the women of this world for those who don’t understand them. Unfortunately, many women will resonate with the feelings and themes expressed in the song. I also hope this song will strike a chord with them, and help them know they are not alone.”
