My song that I would like to add to out classes feminist mixtape is Ne-Yo’s song titled “Miss Independent”. In the song, Ne-Yo is singing about a beautiful woman who seems to also have her life together and is able to take care of herself. In the song, Ne-Yo is singing about a beautiful woman who seems to also have her life together and is able to take care of herself. This ties back to what I learned about feminism because if I am not mistaken, a key vocal point of modern feminism is the independence of women all around the world

In the song, one of Ne-Yo’s lyrics states, “Cause she walk like a boss, talk like a boss”, these lyrics from the song places a woman in a light of being what Ne-Yo refers to as a “boss” meaning that she is clearly very powerful and possesses abilities to reach heights that woman have not typically been prone to reach due to their history of being discriminated against and seen as lesser than a man. Another lyric from the song “Miss Independent” states, “Kind a woman that wants you but don’t need you”, this lyric from he song exemplifies this woman Ne-yo speaks of to be so into her independence that yes, she can want you to be with her, but she does not need you to be there for any kind of support other than to be in a relationship with you.

I believe this song can speak volumes to the feminist culture and put a light on women’s independence and gaining a role to where women are not being seen as weak or lesser than a man. So in conclusion, “Miss Independent” by Ne-Yo would be an excellent addition to our Feminist Mixtape.
