The Womack Sisters Kucha, Zeimani, and BG Womack were singing before they could walk. They grew up on the road. Their schools were stages and studios all over the world, where they sang behind their parents, Zekkariyas & Zeriiya (fka Womack & Womack), alongside their four siblings. Nowhere was home for long. No matter where they lived—London, Thailand, Amsterdam, Kenya, Paris, Sydney, Zurich, Vienna, Tanzania, New York, Miami, West Virginia, the Bahamas—they were always surrounded by music and family. In 2007, the Sisters decided to strike out on their own, leaving their family to pursue their own dreams back in the States. They moved to Los Angeles and connected with their uncle Bobby Womack, brother Meech Wells and industry, singing at open mics, working as background vocalists and arranging and writing for artists including Mya, Earl St. Clair, The Game, B.O.B, Eddie Murphy, and Solange Knowles. The next decade would prove particularly challenging. The loss of their father Zekkariyas (fka Cecil Womack) and the declining health and eventual passing of their uncle Bobby forced the Sisters to take time away from their careers to focus on their personal lives. They moved into an abandoned rehearsal hall where they could write and rehearse in the hours between trying to make ends meet, at various times working as caregivers, nannies, Uber drivers, and house cleaners. It was during this time they recorded and independently released their debut single, “Darling”, which the Sisters wrote and produced in tribute to the Womack brothers. A glimpse of brighter things to come came in 2016, when a mutual friend introduced the Sisters to Daptone Records producer Gabriel Roth (AKA Bosco Mann.) “The chemistry was instant and undeniable,” recalls Roth. “For me it was never about their name. They sang for me and I just fell in love with their voices. I knew we had to make music together.” They cut their first 45 together, “If You Want Me” b/w “I Just Don’t Want You (To Say Goodbye),” soon after their first meeting, though it would be shelved indefinitely due to the Sisters’ contractual obligations. The Sisters returned to the studio in 2022 to record their EP, Legacy, featuring their rendition of “A Change is Gonna Come” to honor their grandfather Sam Cooke. Though their lineage had always been an anchor for them, tying them to the rich musical tradition of their family, it came with a cost. The Sisters found themselves being courted by music executives and record companies all seeking to capitalize on their family name, pushing them into commercial pop and hip-hop spaces, but not hearing or respecting their true voices. The Sisters’ debut album was put on hold as a result, following a bad recording deal. The next few years were marked by further industry bumps and personal loss, but ultimately proved to be a time of growth for the Sisters. When they reconnected with Roth and signed to Daptone in 2025, their voices had grown stronger. They had a clear vision of what kind of music they wanted to make, and who they wanted to make it with. After months of working on songs and assembling a band of top-tier Daptone-family musicians, they got down to work at Daptone’s west coast headquarters, Penrose Recorders, in Riverside, CA. "Working with Gabe [Roth] was therapeutic. It was the unpeeling of a new self,” said the Sisters. Their 2026 self-titled debut album, The Womack Sisters is truly the musical culmination of the Sisters’ long and winding journey to find themselves. Over an intensely soulful collection of tunes that harkens back to when pop music had substance, vibe and purpose, each of their distinct voices have their moments in the spotlight. Kucha, the youngest of the Womacks and a mother of two, has a pure soulful tone, with a gritty sweetness that betrays her Curtis Mayfield and Smokey Robinson influences. Her performance of “I am Your Season,” a dreamy Impressions-tinged ballad penned by Wayne Gordon, is a highlight of the album that she delivers with a near-saintly love and tenderness. Zeimani’s voice is rich, full, and sultry, and always laced with rhythm. On “Didn’t Mean Much to Me,” her cool veneer betrays a passionate and vulnerable soul as she showcases her ability to creep from a moan to a squall with silky smoothness. BG’s voice seems boundless in its power and range. On features such as “Monster” and “I Just Don’t Want You (To Say Goodbye),” she summons her grandfather’s uncanny ability to move between the cleanest pop runs and the bluesiest gospel growls without compromising either. Their sound may be most remarkable when their three voices become one instrument, as on “Chauffeur,” “You Went Away Too Long,” and “Laughter and Tears,” playfully trading leads and blossoming into perfectly blended harmonies as only sisters can. But on an album that is deeply autobiographical, perhaps no lyric is as fitting as the final refrain: People come and go, But, darling this I know, It will always be my sisters and me.
