Mister Nobody - The Truebelles

in music •  6 years ago  (edited)


The magic of a female triumvirate in culture is sewed throughout classical literature and folklore from 'the weird sisters' in Shakespeare's Macbeth to 'the Furies' in Shelly's Prometheus Unbound.

Diana Ross and the Supremes, Destiny's Child, Martha and the Vandellas, TLC. Trios of female singers have captured the public imagination in ways that seem to stretch beyond popular entertainment entering the realms of mythos. In music 'two is company, but threes a chord'. Aside musical reasons for why three human beings singing together make for a classic ensemble, what accounts for the special charis-magic of three women in proximity to each other ?

The music industry has seen mega successful male trios. The fact that fewer male trios exist than their female counterparts underlies the phenomenon. There also exist very successful female groups with more than three members, yet few, if any, produced notable solo ventures, where as, The Supremes launched Diana Ross. The Ikettes spawned Tina Turner. Destiny's Child produced Beyoncé.

Could there be a desire for a more diversely sophisticated female trio in the post Amy Winehouse era ? Where that other trio; talent, dark humour and earth shattering songs can inhabit the die cast even before Shakespeare and Shelly.

A tangible amount of mythology, mystery and destiny follows female singing groups who count their members in threes. Introducing Grace, Tallulah & Lorena aka "The Truebelles"
