The Oxford Belle’s charity EP Re-Belle-ion

DATE

October 7, 2024

The Oxford Belles are on a mission to empower women everywhere with their new four-track EP, RE-BELLE-ION

The Oxford Belles are known for their big voices, big personalities and even bigger empowerment anthems.

Established in 1995 to combat Oxford’s male-dominated music scene, inspired by the riot grrrl movement from the early 1990s, the Belles have spread their message of female empowerment all over the world – and in Oxford.

Whether they’re singing the American national anthem at Madison Square Garden or giving intimate gigs for local charities, they bring our trademark enthusiasm, professionalism and sass to every performance.

Top moments in recent years include performing at COP26, working with NBC to promote the release of Pitch Perfect 3 and releasing viral video, Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights (noticed by Cyndi Lauper herself!). In May, 2023, they dropped their charity single, “I Love Me Better”, raising money for Inspiring Girls International.

Their RE-BELLE-ION charity EP will be released on 27th of September, supporting Inspiring Girls International and Women and WISH. The Belles say: “We want to spread the message to young women around the world to break away and fight back against societal expectations. This EP is for every girl who has ever been told she can’t – this is our way of shouting back that she can, and she will.”

This EP contains four empowering arrangements: 

Fighter by Christina Aguilera, arr. Courtenay Crow 

Can’t Tame The Lush Life, a mashup of Can’t Tame Her and Lush Life by Zara Larsson, arr. Hilary Yu 

S.L.U.T. by Bea Miller, arr. Evie Gilder 

Born To Express Yourself, a Lady Gaga and Madonna remix, arr. Thaejus Ilango
