For most artistes, releasing a debut album is about making a first impression. For The Womack Sisters, it also means carrying one of soul music’s most celebrated family legacies while convincing listeners they have a story of their own to tell.
The trio, comprising sisters BG, Zeimani and Kucha Womack, will release their self-titled debut album on August 14 through Daptone Records. While their surname inevitably recalls some of the biggest names in soul and R&B, the album aims to establish their identity through deeply personal songwriting and a sound that embraces vintage soul without feeling trapped by nostalgia.
Their musical heritage is difficult to ignore. The sisters are the daughters of Linda and Cecil Womack, better known as the duo Womack & Womack, whose hits helped shape R&B during the 1980s. They are also nieces of Bobby Womack, whose career spanned more than five decades.
Perhaps the most remarkable connection, however, is to Sam Cooke, one of the defining voices in American popular music. Cooke, the sisters’ grandfather through their mother Linda, transformed soul music with classics including A Change Is Gonna Come, Cupid and Wonderful World. Widely regarded as one of the pioneers who bridged gospel and secular music, his influence continues to resonate across generations. While his legacy naturally follows the trio, the sisters appear determined to build on it rather than rely upon it.
Music has been a constant throughout their lives. Raised across London, Paris, Amsterdam, Thailand, The Bahamas and Kenya, they spent much of their childhood travelling with their parents as part of the family’s musical projects. They later performed as backing vocalists during Bobby Womack’s final tours, developing the vocal chemistry that now defines them as a trio.
Unlike many artistes with famous surnames, their journey has been far from effortless. Before signing with Daptone Records, they independently released the EP Legacy in 2022, which leaned towards contemporary R&B. Their latest work marks a noticeable shift, embracing live instrumentation, layered harmonies and classic soul arrangements that have become synonymous with the label.
The album’s latest single, If I Let You, captures that approach. Built around driving organ lines and upbeat rhythms, the track explores the dangers of rushing into romance. Reflecting on the song, Kucha Womack said it was inspired by experiences of entering relationships too quickly, adding that it serves as a reminder to take time to understand both love and oneself.
Another standout track, Chauffeur, draws inspiration from a far more practical struggle. The sisters wrote the song around the period when they worked as Uber drivers while trying to sustain their music careers. Rather than disguising hardship behind metaphor, the lyrics focus on the challenge of earning enough to pay rent while pursuing creative ambitions.
Zeimani Womack described the song as one about “the hustle of life”, saying it reflects the determination required to keep going despite setbacks. The track pairs its contemporary subject matter with sweeping brass, strings and classic soul instrumentation, highlighting one of the album’s central ideas: timeless musical styles can still speak directly to modern realities.
Throughout the record, each sister is given space to showcase her distinct voice before the trio reunites in tightly woven harmonies. Yet it is when those voices merge that the family’s years of singing together become most apparent, creating the rich vocal blend that has become their defining characteristic.
The album arrives alongside a busy touring schedule. The Womack Sisters will join Thee Sacred Souls and LA LOM on The Constellation Tour across North America before performing with Al Green at the Hollywood Bowl on the day their album is released.
