GIRLS WITH GUNS

The world of B-movies has always been a man’s world — we know this all too well. 

Yet, even within films built on the male gaze, women emerged with force. Their voices became iconic, timeless, and ultimately essential to the identity of these soundtracks.

In this playlist you’ll find the usual suspects—Piero Umiliani, Armando Trovajoli, Bruno Nicolai, Stelvio Cipriani, Berto Pisano, Alessandro Alessandroni, and Carlo Savina, alongside the extraordinary voices of Zeudi Araya, Shirley Harmer, Lydia McDonald, Giulia De Mutiis, and Wanda Roti, as well as many other remarkable singers whose names, unfortunately, remain uncredited due to incomplete recording details from the original scores that never reached us.

Their performances elevate films often labeled as “B”, infusing them with sensual, mysterious, and seductive moments that added emotional depth to Italian spy and exploitation cinema, a depth the visuals and narratives themselves often lacked.

Dive into this beautifully odd selection, a blend of ballads, blues, pop-jazz and soul and get to know the women who reshaped the sound of a genre that rarely gave them the spotlight. 

All tracks are one-stop and ready to bring a unique nuance to your next project.
