Thanks to their latest effort—The 6 Degrees Project supports women’s rights by forming world-wide connections between women of all creeds, to stop discrimination, violence and poverty. And the idea that we’re all just six degrees apart can really make a difference.

The 6 Degrees Project kicks off with a free download of Chaka Khan’s trademark song “I’m Every Woman” put together by a group of amazing female artists including Róisín Murphy, producer Amanda Ghost, Alessi’s Ark, thecockandbullkid, Micachu, and Sinead O’Connor.

Just click HERE to learn more about the 6 Degrees Project and to download your own free copy of the song. It’s a fantastic reminder that we’re all in this crazy, often turned-upside-down, thing together. . .

The video I’ll admit though, is a little beyond my understanding. I think my brain must be fried, because I’m just not getting it. Love the song though. . .

A listen to our pre-release copy revealed a haunting, thought provoking quilt woven with bewitching vocals, compelling synth beats and a plethora of instruments that add a glimmer to each song. 

“Daniel” has a synthetic, metallic sound that is reminiscent of a fog filled, magical roller rink. “Peace of Mind” is a soulful ballad, complete with gospel singers and fitting raps on the tambourine. 

The track “Moon and Moon” is stripped down with delicate piano; a simply beautiful song story. Listen to the track performed live below – the back-up singers and hand claps in this performance are especially alluring. . . 

There’s a lot more that could be said about Two Suns, so look for more sneak peeks here as the countdown begins to the album release!
