March 1, 2022 by WDNY Radio

The UMe label has launched a new multi-faceted celebration dubbed “I Am Woman” in honor of Women’s History Month this month, and International Women’s Day on March 8.

To kick off the commemoration, a new lyric video for the late Helen Reddy‘s chart-topping 1972 female-empowerment anthem “I Am Woman” has premiered on YouTube. The clip also was created in honor of the 50th anniversary of the song, which was released as a single in May of ’72.

The campaign also includes a public mural, online stories spotlighting various female music artists, custom merchandise available for purchase on the uDiscover online store, an “I Am Woman” streaming playlist featuring a variety of empowering songs, and “I Am Woman”-themed EPs available via streaming platforms.

The “I Am Woman” mural is on display now at 1239 Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California, and will give visitors the chance “to create shareable moments” and contribute their own stories to wall painting. The mural will remain on display for several weeks.

The streaming playlist features over 170 songs, beginning with Reddy’s “I Am Woman.” Other tunes by veteran artists on the playlist include Janet Jackson‘s “Nasty,” Diana Ross‘ “I’m Coming Out,” The Go-Go’s‘ “We Got the Beat,” ABBA‘s “Dancing Queen,” Pat Benatar‘s “Hit Me with Your Best Shot,” Gloria Gaynor‘s “I Will Survive,” Blondie‘s “Heart of Glass,” and Lesley Gore‘s “You Don’t Own Me.”

Kane Brown wanted to stay on brand when naming daughter Kodi Jane

March 1, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Kane Brown is revealing the inspiration behind his daughter Kodi Jane‘s name.

Just before the new year, Kane and his wife, Katelyn, made the surprise announcement that they had welcomed their second child into the family, joining two-year-old daughter Kingsley.

In an interview with the Superstar Power Hour podcast, Kane shares that he and his wife wanted to stay on the theme of using “K” in the name, and originally had another idea in mind.

“We were of course trying to think of a ‘K.’ The whole time when we had Kingsley, our next baby we were going to name them Knight,” he explains, according to People. “We were hoping it was going to be a boy at first, but when we found out it was going to be a girl I was like, ‘We could still name her Knight.'”

But during the couple’s gender-reveal party, Kane suggested the name Kodi, which was a hit among the intimate crowd of family and friends in attendance, and led to a discussion about how they were going to spell it. Kodi’s middle name, Jane, is taken from that of Katelyn’s grandmother.

The couple welcomed the baby on December 30 in Nashville. “New year, New family member. Welcome to the family Kodi Jane. Secrets finally out,” Kane shared in an Instagram post, alongside a photo taken at the hospital about her birth.

Paul McCartney’s “Women and Wives” named Record Store Day Song of the Year; special vinyl release due in June

March 1, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Record Store Day is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and in honor of the milestone, a limited-edition 12-inch vinyl single featuring two versions of the recent Paul McCartney tune “Women and Wives” has been chosen as Record Store Day’s first Song of the Year release.

The single will feature McCartney’s original version of “Women and Wives” — which appeared on 2020’s McCartney III album — on one side, and alt-rocker St. Vincent‘s 2021 remix of the tune on the other.

St. Vincent’s “Women and Wives” remix was featured on the McCartney III Imagined album, which was released in April 2021 and included covers or remixes of all the McCartney III tracks by various artists.

As previously reported, Record Store Day 2022 will take place on April 23, with an additional drop date for select releases on June 18. The “Women and Wives” vinyl single will be released on June 18, and a limited run of 3,000 numbered copies will be available.

Explaining why “Women and Wives” was chosen as Song of the Year, Record Store Day co-founder Michael Kurtz says, “I was driving down a Montana highway one sunny, snowy morning when St. Vincent’s imagined version of ‘Women and Wives’ came on [satellite radio]. I was stunned by the song’s message of chasing the future. When St. Vincent’s Jeff Beck-like guitar solo arrived at the end, I got goosebumps. This is a classic McCartney song, up there with some of his best.”

McCartney was inspired to write the song after reading blues legend Huddie “Leadbelly” Ledbetter‘s biography, and he recorded the track with an upright bass that belonged to Elvis Presley‘s early bassist, the late Bill Black.
