This past Saturday, at SOB's, the Purple Unicorn returned home for the New York City stop of her "ULTRAVIOLET" tour. It was Justine Skye's fourth stop on her tour, in support of her debut album of the same name.

In our FM² post, I named Skye as one of the new age female megastars. So to begin, I always noticed Skye and that was mainly because one of my of closest friends has been a diehard Justine supporter since the Tumblr days. For me, it was not until I heard "I'm Yours" featuring Vic Mensa that I really started to pay close attention to her. Then "Jezebel" followed, followed by "Back For More, featuring Jeremih, and it was at that point that I became apart of the Unicorn Nation.

A Female Music Megastar is defined as an entertainer who has become a household name. In most cases, her persona is recognized before her music is, by the casual music listener. The women associated with this title will be referred to as FM²'s.

As the 2018 Grammy awards just finished airing, it was another year showcasing some of the talent, some of the female talent. So the other week I was speaking with a friend and the conversation led to the music industry. I asked, "Do you think there will be another Beyoncé or Rihanna?" He replied, "No..." Your first question must be, "Why just Rihanna or Beyoncé?" The reasons these two ladies immediately popped up in my mind are, they managed to maintain a level of relevance, frequent visibility and global recognition for the past 13-15 years as solo artists.
