Self love. Loss. Disco balls. You’ll feel the freeing energy of all three across two neat little packages later this year.
We’re talkin’ about Austin’s secret soul weapon, Sir Woman. This week Sir Woman broke the news about an upcoming twin release – two full-lengths set to drop this fall – If It All Works Out and If It Doesn’t. The gemini finds Sir Woman in top shape, and marks the first time Kelsey Wilson‘s facilitated some full-band co-writes, ultimately the closest experience to emulating their live shows we’ve received to date. Speaking of live shows, Sir Woman performs this yin-yang across two nights at The Parish on Saturday, July 20th and Sunday, July 21st. And if you really want to do your homework ahead of those shows, check out an extensive interview with Sir Woman’s Kelsey Wilson from yours truly.
But let’s get to this new stuff. While the Burt Bacharach-style, ’60s-swing arrangement of “Who You Gonna Love” perfectly captures the carefree essence of If It All Works Out, its counterpart “Never Gonna Give Me Up” tackles the realist-optimist attitude of If It Doesn’t. A luscious groove from its first snare fill all the way through its tambourine-conga outro, the track’s titular vocal refrain is so damn easy on the ears. And with in-the-pocket vocal harmonies, progressive-soul intersections of piano and organ, plus some tasty breakdowns, Sir Woman’s sense of soul reaches the summit of jazzy classiness, and selective rejection’s never sounded so sexy.
