Women in Music: Rising Female Artists You Should Be Listening To

Some of the biggest stars in music lately are women. Artists like Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter dominate the music industry with hit after hit. So, how did they do it, and how has it paved the way for other rising female artists to take the stage? We’ve got the full scoop on some of the music industry’s most impressive and hardworking rising female artists right now! So, strap in, and let’s get into it!

A Shift in Culture

Show business has always been infamous for being cutthroat and competitive, but that stereotype has recently changed. Millennials and Gen Z don’t subscribe to the archaic idea of stepping on others for fame. In modern society, women lift and praise other women more than ever. We support each other, put in a good word, and wish our female friends the best. With more women with platforms to speak from, it is becoming increasingly easier to ‘prove’ ourselves in the working world.

The culture shift doesn’t stop with women. Men are now doing more to vouch for female talent, breaking the patriarchal stigma of days past. For instance, Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan worked with the same producer, Dan Nigro. Both stars are insanely talented, but Rodrigo’s career took off quicker than Roan’s. Despite LA’s harsh treatment of Roan in her early days, Nigro never stopped believing she would be a star. Rodrigo would feature Roan as an opener at her shows, and Nigro would continue to help Roan make the best record she possibly could. Support from them both gave us the Midwest Princess we all know and love.

Rising Modern Gems

Some incredible rising female artists have made their way onto our Spotify ‘On Repeat’ playlists recently, and just in case you haven’t heard about them, we’re here to share. First of all, Remi Wolf is a pop artist who has been hitting it big lately. Although she has been in the spotlight since 2014 as a contestant on American Idol, Wolf garnered widespread fame with her viral 2021 hit, “Photo ID,” leading to her debut album, Juno, released the same year. Wolf has since released another full-length album, Big Ideas, and has even been featured On Zedd’s new album, Telos. Her music can be described as fun and upbeat with a retro vibe.

Another fantastic rising female artist is Tate McRae, who exudes confidence in every song she releases. McRae has worked with EDM artists like Galantis and Moore Kismet, giving her that melodic, emotional, modern vibe. McRae’s most commercially successful song came in 2023, titled “Greedy.” This alongside “Exes” launched McRae to instant radio success, and she is still on the rise with some folks even claiming 2024 as ‘The Year of Tate McRae’.

Finally, we’d like to shout out to the R&B artist SZA. She has been featured alongside incredibly prominent artists like Kendrick Lamar, Justin Bieber, Drake, Lizzo, and Doja Cat, but we never heard much about her solo work. Despite being popular for quite some time now, SZA has recently made herself a household solo name with her 2024 song, “Saturn”. It’s an emotional tune that brings SZA’s vocals to the forefront. She deserves every bit of success the single has brought her, fleshing her out as a solo artist instead of being seen primarily as a feature.

In Conclusion

In 2024, it is easier than ever to make it in Hollywood as a rising female artist, thanks to positive cultural shifts and outlooks in the music industry. That doesn’t mean these artists don’t still have their challenges. Each one has proven herself through hard work and dedication. Endorsements and support from other women push these artists to succeed and hone their skills to be the best musicians they can be. Artists like Remi Wolf, Tate McRae, and SZA are living proof that women are writing a new chapter in music history, and we think that’s pretty cool.
