Released in time with her new album, ‘Meditation Through Gunfire’, the video for Cashavelly’s latest single, ‘Prom’ is a glorious example of her rigorous, yet playful creative process, and features a crew of young women about to go to their prom, while reflecting on their lives in a patriarchal society.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“All a girl really needs is a diary and chewing gum to turn it into love” sounds innocuous enough, but then the lyrics ramp it up to 11, as Cashavelly and a choir of female voices sing of their power – “now that we’re it”. No more hiding in closets waiting to come out – our time is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a great track to think about today, as the US goes to the polls to decide who will lead them for the next four years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cashavelly’s vocals are strong and emotive, accompanied not just by the the prom girls, but also by a tremendous drumming – almost a war drum – provided by Chaisaray Schenck. And it is a war. The outcome of today’s election could determine the fate of not just the USA, but also that of the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s time to rise up. At no other time in the US have women – first time voters and long voting veterans – had such an opportunity to stand up, have their say, and be counted. At a time when female reproductive rights, and women’s rights altogether – including the right to vote in free and fair elections – are at risk in the US, it’s so important to remember that women no longer have to hide in the closets – we’re it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Prom’ is out now. You can watch the music video below. Find out more about Cashavelly and her music online on her official\u00a0website<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, and\u00a0YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
