EP2 'Without Violence & of all Colours' available now!

In May 2022, we released a song written during our last year workshops 'Songwriting for Recovery'. It's a track based on a real story of domestic abuse survival Tracy Graham called 'Better Without You'. She also performed it and co-wrote it, supported by our founder Luiza Moir. This whole experience brought so much happiness and relief into her life, being very therapeutic and liberating event. It also connected with many others going through similar issues, bringing hope, understanding and the solution in music, through singing and songwriting for recovery, as the therapeutic and self-empowering process to recover from abusive relationship.

This track is one of 5 songs we have created during our last year free therapeutic music workshops with 5 different ladies, domestic abuse survivors. To be able to raise awareness about the issues, to make a strong impact on some, and to empower the most vulnerable we decided to release all these 5 songs in the EP2 called 'Without Violence & of all Colours' on the 25th of November 2022!

Please download the tracks - all the profit go to our free for victims of domestic violence therapeutic music workshops, with songwriting and singing for recovery included. (click on the cover above) Thank you!

In 2019, we have released EP1 'Without Violence & of all Colours' with 5 songs inspired by real stories of domestic abuse victims, performed by international female artists who gave their beautiful voices to those who didn’t have an opportunity to speak.

On the EP2, survivors not only bring their stories but also co-wrote the songs and performed them, to effectively work through their own process of recovery and to strongly connect with those who need help, support and empowerment, going through similar issues.

But we won’t be able to continue our mission without your help. Please donate and make this help be available for those who need it the most.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

What Ladies says?
"As a survivor of domestic abuse, I met Luiza when I was a shadow of my former self. I went along to the musical workshops, where Luiza through various exercises helped me to find my voice...quite literally! Now I have the confidence speaking out something I wouldn't say before! "
Tracy Graham

"I was in a physically and psychologically abusive relationship for over 10 years. Then I found an amazing Sounds Like Women project. During the singing workshops with Luiza, with her knowledge, enthusiasm she was able to undo the key to my final cage and help find my own voice!"

Shelly

"I went to see Luiza and join in some Sounds Like Women workshops with a group of women who had all suffered due to domestic abuse. We had so much fun and laughed, sung and recorded a song together! I can't recommend Sounds Like Women enough for healing & empowerment!"
