THE WOMACK SISTERS
“Chauffeur”
You can save any talk of nepotism when discussing The Womack Sisters and their upcoming self-titled album. Sure, Sam Cooke is their grandfather and Bobby Womack is their uncle, but Kucha, Zeimani, and BG Womack have worked hard to develop their sound, grinding it out for over a decade in the music industry prior to recording their debut album. That album, due out in August via Daptone Records (Jalen Ngonda, Sharon Jones, Lee Fields) is astounding from start to finish, a modern soul record rooted in the sound of the 60’s that plays on the familial chemistry of the trio and their lifetime engrained in the Motown sound. With the announcement of the album comes “Chauffeur,” a rolling and rollicking dose of hard-worn R&B laced soul that laments the struggle to make ends meet, in this case as a rideshare driver, a shared experience among the sisters. The song is built on expressive horns, sweeping strings, a bumping bass lead, and the crispiest of drums, a lush framework for The Womack Sisters’ gorgeous vocals, soaring and swaying in harmony together at times but every bit as impactful on their own as they each deliver a kinetic verse. Classic soul, R&B, the struggle, the beauty. It’s all here. It’s so good. I can’t stop listening.
