THE SLITS typical girls 1979

“Typical Girls” is their debut single, notable for its punk-meets-dub sound.

The strong dub influence comes from having dub master Dennis Bovell as producer.

A sound like this performed by an all-female lineup was quite innovative for the time.

Fanny – Ain’t that peculiar (1972) | LIVE

Fanny, known as one of the first all-female bands to gain both critical acclaim and commercial success.

The opening track of their 1972 album “Fanny Hill,” “Ain’t That Peculiar,” stands out with its clear, airy vocals and lively ensemble.

The soulful guitar solo, featuring prominent slide guitar techniques, gives the song a powerful, undulating drive.

The contrast between the percussion-led intro and the slide guitar also creates a strong impact, making it a catchy pop-rock tune.

Isyss – Oh No She Didn’t

This song, included on “The Way We Do,” released by the American contemporary girls’ R&B group Isyss at the end of 2002, became a hit into the spring of 2003, and the album sold 500,000 copies.

The sound woven by the three distinctively flavored vocalists is pleasantly satisfying.
