33 Women Music Critics You Need To Read
This is very much the tip of the iceberg. Where’s Amanda Petrusich? And Molly Lambert? Liz Colville? Jillian Crowther? Daniella Joseph? Calamity Pop? Lindsay Hood? Tess Lynch? Taylor Long? Jessica Suarez? Jessica Hopper? Jenn Pelly? Arianna Stern? Rachael Maddux? Sady Doyle? A lot of my favorite music criticism by women flies under the radar because it’s not enmeshed in academia or journalism. It’s not written by people who are pursuing music criticism as a profession — it’s stuff that gets written out of passion and gets mixed in seamlessly with personal narratives or writing about bigger, broader issues. It sneaks into sites that seem to be about a lot of other things, or some other topic entirely.
Exceedingly valid points here. Petrusich, Lambert, Colville, Hopper and Maddux are all some of the best critics writing today OF ANY OF THE GENDERS
Super real true music story, bro. It’s the nature of most any list (except the List of Babel, huh?) that people get left off. Matthew’s addenda are all great great writers.
