Soul music royalty meets a fresh new generation with the long-awaited debut album from The Womack Sisters, arriving August 14, 2026, via Daptone Records. A deeply personal and soulful collection, The Womack Sisters celebrates family heritage while introducing a distinct sound shaped by experience, resilience, and a lifelong connection to music.
Featured in MOJO’s 2026 “Essential Albums” preview, the album represents a major milestone for sisters Kucha, Zeimani, and BG Womack, who have spent their lives surrounded by music. As the granddaughters of legendary soul pioneer Sam Cooke and nieces of iconic songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Bobby Womack, the Sisters carry a remarkable musical lineage—but this debut proves they are far more than heirs to a famous name.
The Womack Sisters look to the past while creating something entirely their own. The album channels the spirit of classic soul, when songwriting, emotion, and musicianship were at the center of popular music, while bringing a modern perspective and their own individual voices to every track.
The Sisters’ musical journey began almost from birth. Raised by their parents Zekkariyas and Zeriiya (formerly known as Womack & Womack), they grew up performing around the world, learning through real-life experience rather than traditional classrooms. Their childhood was spent on stages and in studios across the globe, with homes ranging from London and Amsterdam to Kenya, Paris, Sydney, Zurich, Vienna, Tanzania, New York, Miami, West Virginia, Thailand, and the Bahamas.
That unique upbringing shaped their artistry, giving them a rare understanding of performance, harmony, and storytelling. Each sister brings her own personality and vocal character to the album, allowing every song to feel both connected and individual.
The album’s lead single, “Chauffeur,” introduces listeners to the Sisters’ rich harmonies, emotional depth, and timeless approach to soul music. Other standout moments include the heartfelt “If You Want Me,” the powerful “Monster,” the reflective “Laughter & Tears,” and the closing tribute “My Sisters And Me.”
Released through Daptone Records, a label known for preserving and celebrating authentic soul sounds, The Womack Sisters feels like both a continuation and a new beginning. It honors the artists who came before them while establishing Kucha, Zeimani, and BG as voices with their own story to tell.
With unforgettable melodies, soulful arrangements, and a connection to one of music’s greatest family legacies, The Womack Sisters is a debut that celebrates where they came from while confidently stepping into the future.
