Ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, Madi Diaz, S.G. Goodman, and Joy Oladokun have released a cover of the Patty Griffin song “Be Careful.” The cover was produced by Diaz and Goodman; it was engineered and mixed by Alex Hope. All proceeds from the release go to the Abortion Within Reach Coalition, an organization dedicated to reproductive justice and abortion accessibility.

In a statement, Diaz said that she listened to the song after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and was inspired to record her own version in response. She said:

When Roe v. Wade was overturned this past summer, Patty Griffin’s song ‘Be Careful’ slipped into my subconscious. It became a mantra of strength that was playing consistently in the back of my heart and mind day in and day out, gently encouraging me to keep putting one foot in front of the other. It became a sort of battle cry directed toward anyone that wants to take away my rights to my own body and my reproductive freedom. You’ve awakened the beast so you better “Be Careful.” This Supreme Court decision affects all of us—“All the girls with the washing rags,“ “all the girls with the shopping bags,” any person with a uterus and everybody with their own body. This is about control over another person’s human rights and freedoms—the right of making our own choices about our health and wellbeing. When it was so hard to talk about what had just happened in our country, writing about it felt a little easier, so my best friend, Morgan Elizabeth Peirce, and I wrote our own verse, using the brilliant Patty Griffin’s song as a springboard into our present. It felt good to say and sing something that means so much to us and I’m beyond thankful for this group of wonderful humans for coming together to put all of our voices and hearts on record, printing this moment in time, putting it out into the world and harnessing the power that is born when we unite and work together. I hope that anyone needing to hear this song, hears it and feels a little bit less alone. Vote with that in mind.

Diaz’s latest album, History of a Feeling, was released in August 2021. Since then, she’s unveiled her Same History, New Feelings EP, which includes four new versions of songs from History of a Feeling with a guest artist on each track.

Oladokun shared her major-label debut, In Defense of My Own Happiness, last year. She recently shared a new song with Chris Stapleton called “Sweet Symphony.”

S.G. Goodman’s second album, 2022’s Teeth Marks, was released in June. See why it was included on Pitchfork’s list of “34 Great Records You May Have Missed: Spring/Summer 2022.”
