Backstory:
Formed in the backdrop of the buzzing New York City music scene in 2012, Feminine Declaration began as a powerful collaboration between childhood friends Laura Stevens and Samantha Meyers. The duo, initially just dabbling in songwriting and casual jam sessions, soon found a unique chemistry that led to the creation of a sound that was distinctly their own. Their music quickly caught local attention, leading to the expansion of the band with the addition of bassist Michelle Chen and drummer Eliza Thompson. Despite the ups and downs faced by the band, including sliding popularity and changes in the music industry, the band’s commitment to producing music that inspires and empowers women around the world has never wavered.

Title:
“Unchained Melody of the Brave”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am C G D
She walks in shadows, hidden from the dawn,
Am C G D
In the silence of her heart, a battle’s being fought.
Am C G D
Yet, she perseveres, with every beat, every breath,
Am C G D
Unfolding her story, defying her death.
(Chorus)
G D Am C
She is the melody, the unchained melody of the brave,
G D Am C
In the rhythm of her footsteps, she is paving her own way.
G D Am C
She is the melody, the unchained melody of the free,
G D Am C
In the echoes of her laughter, she is writing history.
(Verse 2)
Am C G D
Her spirit dances, on the rhythm of her dreams,
Am C G D
A symphony of courage, in the face of life’s extremes.
Am C G D
Silent no more, her voice rings loud and clear,
Am C G D
A declaration of strength, for all the world to hear.
Chorus repeats

The band’s favorite fan is Rebecca Thompson, a school teacher from Chicago. Rebecca first heard Feminine Declaration during a difficult time in her life and their music became her solace. She says, “Their music isn’t just soothing, it’s empowering. There is something incredibly moving about the raw, unfiltered emotion in their songs. As a woman, their music resonates with me on a deeply personal level. Their song ‘Unchained Melody of the Brave’ became my personal anthem during a time I was fighting my own personal battles. I owe a lot to their music and can’t imagine a day without it. Feminine Declaration is my favorite, not just because of their amazing tunes, but also because of their inspiring message and the strong women they are.”
