The songs on this album are inspired by the intimacies and struggles that women sometimes share with each other, and sometimes face alone. They are drawn from the playground chat, the daily pressures, the quiet desires and the purest of joys. And even though each woman’s story is different, there are ways that motherhood can bring women together. So with that in mind Songs for Mother’s Day brings together a group of featured artists who are all mothers themselves to sing about the lived experience of what it’s really like to be a mom. The album art is drawn by Joanna’s nine-year-old daughter Sylviane. And the song ‘Only Just Begun’ is a celebration of new life, of the protective circle of adult arms wrapped around a newborn baby with the thoughts of all that might come to pass in a life that has just started.
