In honor of International Women's Day, we caught up with the beautiful and badass Tamtam to talk to her about her single "Gender Game." A Saudi Arabian woman, Tamtam understands the intense struggle women face every day, especially that of women of color. "Gender Game" is meant to share Tamtam's own personal experience in an effort to help support other woman.
"I wrote the song Gender Game after some of my friends suggested I don't post the music video for my first single Little Girl, because of what people might say about me being a Saudi woman and showing my face to the world. I ended releasing little girl anyway, but the music video is blurry and that's also when I changed my name to my moniker 'tamtam'. "
"Gender Game is a song about Gender equality. My favourite part about Gender Game is that although I wrote it because of an experience I went through, women from all over the world can relate to it. So many of the women in my music video came up to me and expressed to me how much this song spoke to them, and I'm so grateful for that." - Tamtam
The music video is tantalizing, spotlighting women of every age and race and Tamtam's vocals are entrancing and warm. Check out the video for "Gender Game" below and be sure to support women everywhere, everyday!
