Good morning everyone,

How are you doing, alright? I hope so. In any case, you have made it through another week which should be a cause for celebration in every Fem Fri reading household.

How about some music to help us celebrate. Dua Lipa, genuine hero, has brought up the release date of her album full of joyful songs. There's a special treat in this track for British subscribers of a certain vintage, but I think you'll all enjoy this:

Here's another woman with a fun and high energy LP, it's Georgia! This is my favourite song from her album (Seeking Thrills), the song is called About Work the Dancefloor:

Finally, do you want to read a story about the happy surprises that life can throw you? And if yes, don't you think it would all go better with a bit of disco? I KNEW IT, ME TOO. Here's Rupa Biswas:

“It feels great to have so much love,” Rupa acknowledges. “After all these years, people like my music.” She admits that she wouldn’t trade the life she has now for any fame she would have achieved then. “I don’t care about the money. I’m just happy that people like my music. Boys, girls, everyone is dancing so much. That’s what makes me happy.”

And here's not just a song by her, but an entire album:

I hope that these has pepped you up for the day ahead, if pepping up was something you were needing. 💪

Love,

Alex.
