Soundtrack to a Movement: RAGE
Is Samantha Margret a witch? Her followers certainly think so. She released her dark-pop, anti-patriarchy single, RAGE on June 24. Only a few hours later, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Now, the EP that bears the same name has arrived, and Samantha is ready: "This EP is about unlearning beauty culture, sexism, and gender norms. So much of the oppression women face hides itself by accusing women of being vain or shallow, but that's the poison we're given to cure the illness. Beauty and thinness are the tools of a much more sinister systemic violence
This project has been a way for me to write myself out of the internalized self-harm and disrespect that I was handed by other women and men who had it handed to them. I wrote the songs fast and furious (literally), but it feels like it's taken me a lifetime to reach them"
This EP is the sound of a revolution. It guides us on a journey through anger, self-disrespect, healing, and self-compassion.
