If R&B music had royalty, the Womack Sisters would be princesses, and their new self-titled debut album would be their declaration of accession to the throne within the genre. 
The R&B and soul vocal trio consisting of BG, Zeimani and Kucha Womack dropped their first album on Friday, August 14.
The 11-track 22-minute-long album marks their first full-length studio release. 
With it, they are stepping into the limelight and out of the shadow of their prolific musical heritage. 
After all, being granddaughters of the legendary king of soul Sam Cooke, daughters of Cecil and Linda Womack, famously known as the R&B/dance duo Womack & Womack in the late 1980s and the nieces of soul pioneer Bobby Womack comes with its own pressures. 
But with years working behind the scenes as backup singers and vocal arrangers, the trio are stepping out and to be frontswomen in their own right. 
Their new eponymous album blends contemporary R&B with funk and plenty of gospel harmony to create a record that keeps playing in your head well after it’s done in your ears. 
The album is autobiographical in nature, reflecting on both the glitz and the gloom of growing up on the road in a family of legends. 
Opening with the vintage-sounding Chauffeur, the Womack Sisters don’t hold back on their backstories as they sing about working as Uber drivers in Los Angeles, while awaiting for their big break. 
The tracks that follow are exquisite in their composition, produced by Grammy-winning Gabriel Roth, and are careful in giving each sister her moment in the spotlight while also highlighting the chemistry that sets the trio apart. 
The eldest sister BG shines on I Just Don’t Want You (To Say Goodbye) - a southern-flavoured mid tempo groove designed with a classic sock-hop soul vibe, as well as Monster - a grittier and fiery change in pace. 
Zeimani takes centre-stage in Didn’t Mean Much to Me smoothly moving between sultry and soulful and showcasing the breathtaking breadth of her vocal range. 
In I Am Your Season, Kucha is the voice to watch blending grit with sweetness for a single that is both tender and raw. 
And the closing ode My Sisters and Me is where the listeners really come to appreciate the chemistry that makes the trio work beautifully, and the final refrain sums up the entire album perfectly: ‘People come and go, but darling this I know, it will always be my sisters and me’.
The Womack Sisters is available on major digital streaming platforms as well as on a limited edition ‘Fiery Red’ vinyl pressing.
