Nettwerk Music Group is excited to present MODERN MUSES VOLUME ONE: DIVERSE VOICES IN MUSIC, a 9-track compilation that brings together some of Nettwerk's most beguiling female recording artists who put a contemporary spin on the Nine Muses, known in Greek Mythology as the patron goddesses of the arts.

Each artist has contributed a track from their recent or upcoming album releases to join in the celebration of females in the arts. The compilation will be released exclusively through Amie St on May 19, and will be available on all major digital service providers beginning June 2; a portion of all proceeds will be donated to the charity Global Green.
