Woman To Woman' is a unique concept album by acclaimed US singer-songwriter Esmé Patterson. The songstress has received much highly-deserved critical acclaim from The New York Times, NPR and Elvis Costello.
A former member of Americana group Paper Bird, she has written 10 songs from the perspective of famous women immortalised in song on her album ‘Woman to Woman,’ including singing from Dolly Parton's 'Jolene's point of view on the track “Never Chase A Man,” whilst “What Do You Call A Woman?” is a response to Michael Jackson's “Billie Jean” and “Valentine” is the voice of Elvis Costello's “Alison.”
As Esmé Patterson explains “I was learning to play a Townes Van Zandt song called "Loretta” …and I started thinking about how many songs were just a woman's name, and how these women are frozen in time, and frozen as archetypes, frozen in black and white. And I thought they deserved to be coloured in.
