Sam Cooke’s Granddaughters Preview Their Daptone Debut With ‘If I Let You’

Rolling Stone · 2 months ago

The Womack Sisters—granddaughters of soul icon Sam Cooke and nieces of R&B legend Bobby Womack—are building momentum with their forthcoming self-titled debut on Daptone Records. The Los Angeles-based trio of Zeimani, Kucha, and BG Womack has unveiled their latest single, a soul-pop track centred on the theme of exercising caution in romantic relationships, which showcases the textured harmonies and retro production that define their musical direction. The song arrives as the group prepares for a broader push in the coming months.

Following their 2022 EP that leaned more heavily on contemporary R&B, the sisters have pivoted towards a more classically-inflected soul sound. Their August release date coincides with a notable performance slot at the Hollywood Bowl, where they will open for Al Green—a fitting milestone for a group whose family legacy runs deep in soul music. The project represents the culmination of several years of development as the trio has pursued their breakthrough moment.

  • The Womack Sisters, descendants of soul legend Sam Cooke, debut their single 'If I Let You' ahead of their August album release on Daptone Records
  • The trio crafts vintage-influenced soul music drawing from their rich family heritage in R&B
  • They'll open for Al Green at the Hollywood Bowl on their album's release date in August
