The Sisterhood is ten songs I have written with my right hand man Tony Remy about the lives of ten female singers and singer-songwriters who have inspired me over the years and who have made their marks on musical history.
Bessie, Billie, Miriam, Nina, Aretha, Janis, Joni, Ricky-Lee, Annie, Kate – who needs a second name in company like this?
Pioneers of Music, we have respectfully researched the lives of these women who were/are all great artists and great cultural transformers. My lyrics tell their stories, as does the music we have created for each song, using the characteristic genre and stylistic markers appropriate to each artist. We fell in love with each one of these extraordinary women as we gained insights into their lives, their minds and the challenges they faced … and I am sure that you will too. We are excited to finally see the project come to life. Now is you chance to experience the same joy and excitement listening to it as we had making it.
To honour the legacies of these stars, whilst creating new work demands a breadth of experience of different popular musical forms as well as great versatility in performance styles. Clearly Morris and Rmy have the necessary skills. - London Jazz News
An album full of hope and nourishment in the face of hard times - 4 stars, Record Collector
A highly enjoyable, original and entertaining set of songs – her ability as a songwriter really shines on this album. Highly recommended. - Jazz Journal
