Carrie Baxter – “Woman”

Hailing from Waterford and now based in London, this Irish singer and songwriter comes from a musical family. Getting her start by teaching herself to play a guitar she got for Christmas, a love for performance was always in her blood. She moved to the UK to study at the London School of Musical Theatre and became a songwriter in the dance music scene working with Guy Chambers. Inspired by Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse, she debuted her own jazz/soul sound on “Lady” in 2019.

Written as an homage to all the strong women in her life, her new single is filled with empowerment and beauty. Carrying her profound lyrics, she envelops them in a warm and inviting neo-soul and R&B blend. Starting with slow keys and a jazzy rhythm, she’s driving the song with her commanding R&B-styled vocal prowess. Layered with warmhearted harmonies and a 90s-reminiscent chorus, this beauteous tune celebrates female solidarity with stunning vulnerability and class.
