As I settled in to create the playlist for our first Keys Woman of 2023, I thought about all the women who’ve come before us – the trailblazers, the advocates, the champions – and I can’t help but wonder how they’d view our world as a whole today.

Would they be proud? Or disappointed that all the things they fought so hard to gain for future generations of women have seemingly gone up in a cloud of smoke? I think first of RBG, followed quickly by Betty White – what sage words would they offer at this juncture? If I had to guess, they’d tell us to keep fighting the good fight.

So in this edition we are highlighting the beauty of aging and how we are in the driver’s seat of our own life experience.

For this playlist, we decided to take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of our favorite, classic jams by female artists.

It’s always fun getting the entire office involved in the playlist-making process and this is truly a time when more opinions make things better. Everyone’s hollering out who has to make the cut, while different YouTube and Spotify tunes come from every desk. And so the process goes until we have what we consider a well-rounded list.

So as you read through these pages, I hope you embrace the nostalgia of familiar voices singing songs of soul, hope, empowerment and memories of a time gone by.

Aging is inevitable, but the journey that gets us there is 100% up to us. May we make the women who fought for all our rights proud, and work every day to show them their work and sacrifices weren’t in vain.

Happy listening.
