Women who move the world: How female artists are redefining power in global music

From Tyla to Taylor Swift, women are not just topping charts, they are reshaping how the music world works, writes Music News Blitz’s Lindokuhle Mlombo.

In an industry long dominated by male gatekeepers and narrow expectations, 2025 feels like a turning point.

Across continents and genres, women in music are no longer content with breaking ceilings. They are rewriting the architecture entirely.

Whether it is South Africa’s Tyla redefining pop identity through amapiano rhythms, Billie Eilish expanding the boundaries of vulnerability, or Karol G commanding Latin stages once ruled by men, female artists are transforming what power sounds, looks, and feels like.
