I’m speechless. . . this is a debut album? Instead of the Olivia Dean School of RnB, the Womack Sisters point directly to ‘70s soul classics to formulate a powerhouse of an album that transcends time. Without a doubt, this is an instant soul classic and should be in anyone’s top releases for 2026. It’s not just a time capsule to the legends, but a monument that new legends can be created with enough tenacity and belief in their talent.
Kucha, Zeimani, and BG Womack tap into the aura of The Supremes, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, and the mantra of the Motown collective. It doesn’t hurt that they are the grandchildren of the great Sam Cooke, and the nieces of Bobby Womack.
The same sentiments emerge: the hustle, challenges of love, and perserverence. From “The Chauffer” professing the struggles of making ends meet. Here, it’s a retelling about being Uber drivers just to make rent. “How many miles do I have to burn? How many corners do I have to turn?” With the urban landscape as backdrop, the Womack Sisters invite us into an underworld the glow amber under bright lights.
With the latin tinged, “If I Let You,” you feel elements of Santana etched into their funky soul demeanor while giving homage to Diana Ross with their fashion choice. These women are not playing games.
Beyond their unrelenting faith in classic soul, the Womack Sisters are dreamers. “Didn’t Mean Much To Me” has a fleeting melancholy that tackles relationships in a sincere yet hyper-realistic way. Blend all three together as they do in “You Went Away Too Long,” you experience strength in their harmonies, as the sweetness in their sway convert to power in the chorus as a fire burns in their emotion.
From front to back, each song is a testament to the style and emotion of what sould music should be. I’m excited to see where it goes from here.
