Their talent is undeniable. Their contribution to the culture is indispensable. They're the Black women in our playlists, on our screens and in our feeds. On Ladies First, Element Everest-Blanks talks with one of these remarkable women about their lives, their music and how they made their moment happen. Because it's not about who's next. It's about who's now.
On this episode, Element sits down with the powerhouse trio carrying on one of the most celebrated lineages in music: the Womack Sisters.
As the daughters of Linda and Cecil Womack, and granddaughters of legendary King of Soul Sam Cooke, musical genius is in their DNA. But the Womack Sisters aren’t here to ride on a famous last name; they’re solidifying their own place in the industry on their own terms.
In this raw and inspiring conversation, they share what it was like growing up watching classics being created in real time and why they chose to build an authentic sound from the ground up. They also open up about the hustle behind the music, revealing how real-world struggles inspired their cinematic single "Chauffeur." Plus, discover why they chose to record their latest project entirely live to tape with zero digital interference to preserve the true, unfiltered vibration of their artistry.
Fierce, resilient and unapologetic, the Womack Sisters are here to remind us all to block out the noise, bet on ourselves and protect our peace.
