Patrice Roberts - I Am Woman 

“I Am Woman” takes its title from the early-1970s pop hit that moved from radio success to a wider life as a women’s liberation anthem, later recognized by the Library of Congress for preservation. At the Brooklyn Paramount, Patrice Roberts frames the material as argument and autobiography, leaning on rhythm, phrasing, and lyrical stakes more than spectacle. New York has long been a proving ground for feminist repertory in popular music, and this set reads as part of that ongoing local conversation. The result is direct, sometimes bracing, and rooted in the song’s afterlife as cultural text.
