“She Too” the new electrifying and soulful blues-rock single from New York-based singer-songwriter/musician Danielia Cotton and it stings with feminist potency as sharp electric guitars and crisp, raging vocals bite into a mouthful of patriarchal resistance. “She Too” was released on April 2nd via Cotton’s own label, Cottontown LLC. The track was recorded in Brooklyn and features Matt Beck (Matchbox 20) on guitar.

The Big Takeover is proud to be hosting the premiere of its equally powerful and relevant accompanying video, which makes its mark as an unapologetic commentary on the current political climate stemming from movements such as #MeToo, the fight for equal pay, and the recognition of women of color.

The socio-econo-politically important video features quick-cut images from recent and decades-past marches, with protesters raising high their signs of frustration and resistance, and of defiance and persistence. As the dynamic and gritty song strides forward, Cotton’s bold lyrical truths flash across the screen; statements like, “I was not born a man / but I can do anything he can.”, which she proclaims with passionate triumph.

Danielia Cotton is a New Jersey-born artist who grew up inspired by the angst of rock and roll music.
