MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: Rachel Burns - Hangy Sallys

 

I have to admit that this recommendation is wide of my usual music tastes, but there's a refreshing frankness and honesty about the way Rachel Burns tackles the subject of breast cancer in Hangy Sallys.

As a songwriter and a Stage III Breast Cancer Survivor, Rachel is well placed to create such a song, drawing on her own experiences to help spread the word about Breast Cancer Awareness. It has the lyrical wit of one of my old favourites, Ruth Wallis, but with the modern bite of female empowerment.

The songwriter has released a new EP titled ‘Living My Breast Life’, the project is an opportunity for Burns to help raise the profile of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and reach out to the community with an important message. Starting on September 30th, the artist began unveiling tracks weekly and donating a portion of proceeds from the sales to breast cancer organizations.

Please give it a listen.
