DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
SHE’S GOT THE POWER! is the follow-up to our “Girls Go Power Pop!” collection of female-fronted bands from the 80s and 90s, and the sisterly companion to “Come On Let’s Go!” and “Rockets Of Love!”, our two volumes of male Power Pop.
Power Pop has maintained a strong underground presence from the 70s up to the present day, having survived by blending with similar styles, and is now enthusiastically supported by die-hard fans around the world. Accordingly, we have widened the time-frame here to cover from 1978 right up to 2018 and have broadened our terms of reference to better reflect the way the genre has grown and developed. One thing stays the same though: we have retained the emphasis on high quality upbeat songs with catchy tunes that stick in your head and memorable hooks that deliver sugar straight to the veins. We have scoured the world to find the most exciting tracks with contributions from not only the USA and the UK but also Spain, Sweden, Japan, Norway, Brazil and Denmark.
SHE’S GOT THE POWER! is the follow-up to our “Girls Go Power Pop!” collection of female-fronted bands from the 80s and 90s!
• Power Pop has maintained a strong underground presence from the 70s up to the present day, having survived by blending with
similar styles, and is now enthusiastically supported by die-hard fans around the world!
• This is a celebration of the females who continue to explore the joyful possibilities pop has to offer. And, frankly, they do it best!
• Perhaps it’s the enduring influence of 60s girl groups which remains a subtle undercurrent on much of the music within – it’s new and
old, a hybrid that’s bright and sassy, raunchy and gritty, fun-filled and flame-fuelled!
