Sophie Grégoire Trudeau isn’t just a public speaker, TV and radio host, and advocate for gender equality, mental health and emotional literacy. She’s also a mom of three. “I’ve had the privilege to meet thousands of girls and women across the globe who have confided their stories in me,” Grégoire Trudeau—who also happens to be the wife of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—tells Apple Music. “Every time someone speaks their truth, it allows for others to do the same.” To commemorate Women’s History Month, she assembled this playlist of music from fellow change-making women. “Intrepid, courageous, curious, sensitive, sensuous and mischievous, these storytellers—from all walks of life—nourish me,” she says. Here, she talks us through some of her key picks. Jewel, “No More Tears” “Jewel is a vocal goddess and a poet. She has managed to make it big without falling into the traps of fame. She fought to remain herself though it all. She has the most generous soul, and she devotes her time and money to help struggling youth. Raised in Alaska, she also had a difficult childhood. She’s one of most inspiring women I’ve met, and we send each other poems frequently as a testament to our friendship and reverence to life. ‘Heartbreak is like the weather, ravaging my soul/But I know it moves on.’” Lady Gaga, “Til It Happens to You” “This lady sets her own tone in everything she does, and I admire her for that. This one explains the harsh reality of sexual abuse on college campuses. She feels her songs so strongly, and this one is about the fact that it’s so important for us to condemn injustices and to have compassion for the victims as ‘we don’t know how it feels ’til it happens to you.’ She wrote this song with Diane Warren.” Charlotte Day Wilson, “If I Could” “A deeply emotive song from this Toronto-based artist. Many of us would love to take the pain away from the ones we love and who are suffering. But we can’t always be that antidote, and the person has to be willing to help themselves. All her music takes me into a place and space of flow.” Ruby Waters, “Rabbit Hole” “This Métis and Slovak Canadian is a powerhouse of raw and real. She’s been honest about her own addiction issues in her songs. On ‘Rabbit Hole’, she sings, ‘I don’t how it got this bad/I just want to kick it.../And I fall into the rabbit hole again.’ We all have moments when we feel we dug ourselves even deeper into misery of sadness and numbing our pain. But there is always a way out of that place. Always.” Chantal Kreviazuk, “Hard Sail” “Born in Winnipeg and of Métis roots, Chantal is a three-time Juno winner, a Canadian staple as a singer/composer and an incredibly talented piano player. She has also collaborated with Drake, Carrie Underwood, Kendrick Lamar, P!nk, Christina Aguilera and many more. ‘Hard Sail’ speaks of the difficulties of marriage and relationships almost everyone faces through their lifetime. Her husband, Raine Maida (of Our Lady Peace), and herself released a documentary named I’m Going to Break Your Heart on the wise lessons they have learned as a couple. Take it from me, they are incredible human beings! Listen—you’ll just feel it.” Charlotte Cardin, “Anyone Who Loves Me” “This young alternative-pop sensation has taken part of the music world by storm. I’ve met Charlotte, and I’m in awe of her mature sensitivity. I’ve listened to her album Phoenix at least a hundred times, which is rare for me. In ‘Anyone Who Loves Me,’ she talks about the fact of how difficult it is to be a woman in our society. It’s true, and it still sticks.”
