The Womack Sisters are turning a famous family name into a new chapter of their own. With a Daptone Records debut on the way, Zeimani, Kucha, and BG Womack are stepping into the spotlight with a throwback sound that feels built for the label’s fans.
The trio will release their self-titled album, The Womack Sisters, in August. Their latest single, “If I Let You,” is already out and gives an early look at the textured harmonies and vintage arrangements they are bringing to the project.
A legacy that shapes the story
Their background is impossible to ignore. The sisters are the daughters of Linda and Cecil Womack, both of whom made R&B records in the Eighties.
The family line reaches even further back through Linda Womack’s father, Sam Cooke, and Cecil Womack’s older brother, Bobby Womack. That history gives the group a rare place in soul music, even as they work to define a sound that is clearly their own.
What the new single reveals
“If I Let You” opens with a driving organ and moves as a bouncy soul-pop track built around the feeling of rushing into love. The song fits naturally with Daptone’s classic-minded catalog, while keeping the Womack Sisters’ own vocal blend at the center.
In a statement, Kucha Womack said the track reflects the risks of moving too fast in romance. “This song reminds me of a time when I rushed into love because of attraction: not asking enough questions, not staying true to myself, selling myself short,” she said.
She added that the song serves as a reminder “to take your time to find love, and to find out who you’re really dealing with.”
From EP to a more retro debut
Based in Los Angeles, the Womack Sisters have spent the past several years looking for a wider breakthrough. Before this album, they released the EP Legacy in 2022.
That project leaned more contemporary in its R&B approach, even while including a version of Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come.” Their Daptone debut moves closer to a retro sound and marks a noticeable shift in direction.
A major summer moment
The release will also put the trio on a high-profile stage. On Aug. 14, the same night the album arrives, the Womack Sisters will perform at the Hollywood Bowl opening for Al Green.
That pairing underscores how quickly the group’s profile is rising as they prepare to introduce their debut to a wider audience. For Daptone, it is a fitting launch for a trio carrying one of soul music’s most storied family names.
