An autobiographical tribute to the women that have shaped McAvoy’s life thus far

More Jess McAvoy More Jess McAvoy

Stalwart Aussie songstress Jess McAvoy is quite the creative – aside from being an acclaimed singer-songwriter, McAvoy is also an exhibited artist, journalist and actor.

The Women is McAvoy’s 13th self-produced record and it’s being released as a film of sorts, with each of the album’s nine songs accompanied by a video. Beginning with the tender A Mother’s Way, the acoustic record is an autobiographical tribute to the women that have shaped McAvoy’s life thus far. And, although the LP is designed to be listened to with its accompanying visuals, McAvoy’s musical talents are more than easy to enjoy on their own.
