This week for #MusicWomenWednesday I want to introduce some of you to a young artist that my daughter turned me onto named Ethel Cain. The daughter of a priest, raised as a boy named Hayden. Her music is filled with her opinions on organized religion. ✝️

Knowing her back story makes lyrics like, 'God loves you but not enough to save you' hit different. Just really emotionally honest music. Give her a listen.

"Religion ... for all its flaws, is in its purest form meant to provide a grounding place for that whole life, an occasional reminder of what you believe that can sustain that germ of conviction throughout the monotony of living," writes Kelsey McKinney, a pastor's daughter who has lost her faith, just like singer Ethel Cain. For Defector, McKinney reviews Cain's new album, "Perverts," a followup to 2022's "Preacher's Daughter," and muses on religion. "Without faith through religion, you think you lose the divine, that you've been rejected from salvation and with it beauty — at least at first. But slowly it opens up before you — the music, your life, the world — and you realize that all of this pain, all of this awful, ceaseless droning, can be used to build something else."

flip.it · I Believe In Ethel Cain | DefectorSometimes, I remember how it felt to believe. The aching, constant hum that was always inside me.

American Singer #EthelCain doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to her support for #LuigiMangione.

#EthelCain Says ‘#KillMoreCEOs’: ‘Make Them Fear’

The singer-songwriter used the hashtag while sharing a post about the role of money in politics

"Ethel Cain appeared to share her thoughts about the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO #BrianThompson last month. In a series of Instagram Story posts on Friday, the musician used the hashtag '#KillMoreCEOs” in response to a post about money in politics being “the root of our dysfunction.'

"The original post, from former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, described how powerful collectives like the #NRA, #BigOil, and #insurance companies 'buy off Congress.' [#OpenSecrets is a great resource to see who is buying whom].

"In a follow-up Instagram Story, Cain added that she was 'not trying to be reactionary,' but sharing her own opinion.
'I genuinely mean what I say. #Corporations giggle at protesting,' Cain wrote on Instagram. 'Why would anyone ever willingly come down off their throne that they’ve spent years building off the suffering of their fellow man?'

"'Nobody is getting visited by the ghost of Christmas future, no one is having a change of heart,' she continued. 'It’s simple, you make them fear for their lives and hit them in the only place they hurt or nothing will ever get done.'"
