Discography
Krisi tells the story of a school girl caught in a difficult phase of her life and the challenges she faces as she discovers herself and learns to use her experiences to better herself and others. Krisi is also about rising above the "mean girl" situations experienced by young people today.
These struggles, and seeing that life changes
dramatically in school as we move from childhood into adulthood, has also
inspired each and every member of Girl Pow-R to do more, and to actively
participate in a social cause.
Too often, young people are influenced by the thoughts and life experiences of singers and musicians who are in their late teens and their 20’s. It's time to give young people an alternative to these messages. That is what Girl Pow-R has set out to do.
Girl Pow-R was launched in conjunction with International Women’s Day in support of #BeBoldForChange to provide an opportunity for the voices of young women in the pre-teen to early teen years to speak to their peers in a fresh, new voice. The group has a unique mission to inspire young people and to support social causes with their music, positive messages, and age-appropriate lyrics.
The social causes that Girl Pow-R is passionate
about became an extension of this song Krisi. The girls hope that their audiences
will embrace the changes needed to help improve the world and inspire others,
and make the world a better place through the messages we deliver in Girl
Pow-R.
Krisi was written and produced specifically to be
modern music, but with a rock edge. Girl Pow-R wants to show its confidence and
to help others regain their power – and rock definitely portrays that vibe.
Empowering girls, boys and adults to be ‘ok’ with being different, to reach out
and help others, and to be confident, with a new voice and a new sound, is the
goal of Girl Pow-R. The rock edginess of their songs will show that power.
Key influences and music that Girl Pow-R draws upon
are songs like Perfect by Pink, Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne, Born This Way
by Lady Gaga, and Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara. These talented women
have inspired the Girl Pow-R members who are all writing their own songs, as
well as taking their 25-song set list and adding to their superb singing and
dancing skills, a full complement of instruments (drums, acoustic and electric
guitar, keyboard, ukulele, violin) to fill out the band’s performances.
In the end, because LIFE CHANGES DRAMATICALLY IN SCHOOL … Girl Pow-R is out to inspire others and to change the world!
