Jesse Nadir - Bad Bitch

Hello,
 



For my final project I have made a song called ‘Bad Bitch.’ I really wanted to make pop record that focuses on giving confidence and a positive attitude to women. With the title mostly being using in songs that may come off as degrading or misogynistic, I wanted to be able to use the term in a way that makes women feel empowered.

Below is an excerpt from an article expressing frustration with misogyny in music:

“So let's start the next year with some lyrics sans the misogynistic tone, please. Perhaps something more introspective than how you treat women as sex objects. As romantic as the words "And girl, I fuck who I want, and fuck who I don't" are, they're a wee bit demeaning and again, slightly rapey. So let's back away from the rape lyrics and come to our senses. And stop blaming the good kush and alcohol. It's getting a bad rap.”

The next quote sheds light on not only hip-hop, but rock as well:


“The casual nihilism of a small-town Saturday night. The misogyny here is almost tangential to the general air of alienation, but it’s still very much present: “Turn around, bitch, I got a use for you/ Besides, you ain’t got nothing better to do/ And I’m bored.”


Fans of rhythm and blues, pop, and hip-hop will be able to appreciate the work of art including all definitions of gender. The motive behind the title is to incorporate listeners together with all types of intentions. Men will also enjoy the tune as a ‘Bad Bitch’ has many definitions, but most importantly describes a woman with likable qualities or put simply, a female that is captivating. It’s important to isolate the term ‘Bad Bitch,’ from any sort of labeling or chauvinistic meaning as it is a term of endearment. Because I have received such positive humbling feedback from you guys, I have decided to give you guys an exclusive direct download link that you will be able to share with friends and family. I will have updates regarding new music soon, so keep posted. . It has been a pleasure being apart of your company, and I would like everyone to feel free to add my contact information below and keep in touch!
