Listen Up: Rachel Kerr, “I Will Love Me”

Not long ago, I read (probably on something loathsome like Twitter) that there are “too many” girl-power anthems floating around.

Whoever wrote that probably doesn’t work with young girls or have daughters. Trust me, they need all the guidance and encouragement we can offer.

Therefore, I welcome Rachel Kerr with open arms. You should too.

Kerr’s rich vocals have been making waves across the pond in the United Kingdom. She recently wowed a crowd of 20,000 fans during a performance at the British Basketball finals. She’s also been featured as part of BET’s Music Matters initiative.

Kerr’s single, “I Will Love Me,” is pretty self-explanatory – a declaration of love in the midst of strife. It might sound cliche but it’s a message that bears repeating. Kerr’s vocals (think Destiny’s Child with a dash of Angie Stone’s huskiness) are the perfect vessel for that message.

Check out “I Will Love Me” below.
