In an era where female empowerment is more than a buzzword but a movement, Stacey Jackson’s anthem Super Woman stands as a tribute to resilience, strength, and the capacity to defy limitations. Stacey Jackson teamed up with Grammy-winning producer and DJ Craig J Snider to bring a fresh, smooth remix of the track to music lovers worldwide. With Jackson’s powerful voice and Snider’s unmatched production skills, this remix promises to inspire, energize, and remind listeners of their inner superpowers.

The Evolution of Super Woman

Co-written by Jackson and British songwriter Rachel Walker Mason, Super Woman was originally conceived as an ode to women who persevere and thrive despite challenges. Jackson herself, a mother of four who launched her music career at 40, epitomizes the essence of the song’s message. The collaboration with Snider takes this empowerment anthem to new heights, infusing it with high-octane beats, soaring synths, and a driving bassline that amplifies its themes of strength and resilience.

For Jackson, the message of the song is deeply personal. “I have been very lucky through the years, having surrounded myself with a community of driven, strong-minded, brilliant, empowering women all my life. Having such amazing positivity and inspiration around fuels me. In fact, we cheer for each other,” she shares, emphasizing the importance of her female community in shaping her journey as an artist.

Craig J Snider’s Signature Touch

The remix is a testament to Craig J Snider’s ability to breathe new life into already powerful songs. With over 50 Billboard dance chart-toppers to his name and collaborations with industry titans like Lady Gaga, U2, and Katy Perry, Snider brings a wealth of expertise to the remix. His goal was to enhance the original’s empowering message, and he accomplished this by layering vibrant electronic elements with Jackson’s dynamic vocals.

The result is an electrifying fusion of nostalgia and modernity, perfectly blending Jackson’s 80s pop influence with Snider’s cutting-edge production. It’s a track that begs to be played loud, whether on dance floors, at festivals or through your headphones as a personal mantra.

A Testament to Perseverance

Jackson’s journey as a singer-songwriter has been anything but conventional. Starting her music career at 40, she quickly rose to prominence with chart-topping singles and collaborations, including the iconic track Live It Up with Snoop Dogg. Reflecting on that milestone, she says, “If someone told me when I was 11 dreaming of becoming a pop star that 30 years later, I would be recording a record with Snoop Dogg, I would’ve thought they were crazy.”

For Jackson, working with Snoop gave her the confidence to take more chances in her career. “Having that experience gave my artistry a notch of validation in a really tough, ageist industry, but perhaps even gave me more confidence to propel forward and take more chances.”

It’s this resilience that fuels her music, and that message is clearer than ever in Super Woman. “The songs I write are about my own personal journey in the business and what I’ve learned from it. I hope I can continue to inspire other women out there to know that life isn’t just one path,” she adds.

The Power of Dance

One of the standout features of the Super Woman remix is its ability to make listeners move—both physically and emotionally. Jackson, who has a deep connection to dance music from her days teaching aerobics and fitness classes in the 80s, knows firsthand the power of music to uplift and energize.

“I personally love to dance and to move—it’s not just great for you physically, of course, but really great for your mental health,” she says. “The adrenaline and dopamine hit I get when I hear music, and I’m jumping around is like a drug for me.”

She hopes that the remix will evoke that same feeling in her listeners, particularly women who need that extra boost of confidence. “By hearing inspiring and positive messages like, ‘you’ve GOT this, girl!’ type of music that makes women feel that they can do anything they put their minds to.”

What’s Next for Stacey Jackson?

The release of the Super Woman remix is just the beginning. Jackson is currently on tour in the UK, performing at festivals, clubs, and pride events while simultaneously promoting her book How A Gangsta Rapper Made Me a Better Mom. “It’s a nutty 2024 for me,” Jackson laughs. “But I’m blessed to have such incredible fans and a supportive family cheering me on this journey.”

Looking ahead, Jackson will also release an audio version of her book, accompanied by a soundtrack she wrote herself. “Each of the principal characters sings in different genres of music, and those who have already bought the paperback will have access to the soundtrack by a QR code that is inside the book.”

As she juggles her multifaceted career as a singer, TV host, entrepreneur, and author, Jackson remains steadfast in her mission to inspire women to pursue their dreams, regardless of age. “The number of years of age is not just the number depicting how old you are;  it’s the number of years you’ve been loved, you have loved, you’ve learned, you’ve created, you’ve thought, and you’ve experienced. That in itself is confidence,” she asserts.

The Super Woman remix, much like Jackson herself, is proof that empowerment is not just about overcoming obstacles but about dancing through them—full of confidence, joy, and determination.
