Decca Records has recently released the album Good Night Songs for Rebel Girls, celebrating extraordinary women in music and created in partnership with Rebel Girls, the global multi-platform edutainment brand focused on inspiring and instilling confidence in a generation of girls around the world. Good Night Songs for Rebel Girls features covers of both contemporary and historic singles that transcend genre and geography, penned by iconic female artists from Alicia Keys to Carole King. Performed by a multigenerational line-up of female vocalists, the album draws inspiration from the girl-driven narrative of the New York Times – bestselling book series and podcast, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls to empower and uplift girls around the world through music. The album includes the legendary Joan Jett, the queen of rock ‘n’ roll and the godmother of punk, who has recorded a brand-new version of her track ‘Fresh Start’ exclusively for Decca and Rebel Girls.
I have caught up with one of the talents who have contributed to this record with a beautiful cover of The Only Way is Up: Skye Edwards, sometimes simply Skye, a British singer-songwriter (born in East London) who began her career in 1994 when she and the Godfrey brothers formed Morcheeba.

We all need balance in our lives. Balance between work and family. Friends and partners. Relaxation and intensity. There’s so much advice out there these days about the work/life balance and being mindful about how we approach it. But what happens if we take work out of that equation? How do we balance just the “life” part? There’s still so much demand for our time. There’s no doubt about it- date nights, friend meet ups, and time with kids can be incredibly nourishing and they should be moments we look forward to rather than something we need to balance. They are the important things. Not just another item on your to do list. And most importantly, these are precisely the moments that allow you to recharge and allow you to remember what balance is about. They add to your days rather than take away from the time that you have. Sometimes a busy lifestyle can make you forget what you like to do because it has been so long since you had time to do it. So how do we reach that balance and make sure we’re giving our time in a thoughtful and intentional way to those around us?
