“Woman” by Emma Forgette is a riveting country rock tune that weaves in ear catching elements of pop and blues to craft an unforgettable sonic journey. Forgette is a notable singer-songwriter from Florida with an innovative artistic vision that she executes with ease. Her gritty, powerful vocals soar across the track, delivering an impactful message about just how important women are. Shimmering tambourine, grooving drum rhythms, and dancing electric guitars chug through the arrangement, gripping the listener from start to finish.
The first verse of “Woman” sings about how “back in the days of neanderthal, man hunted, grunted” and “never bathed.” Forgette goes on to say “if it wasn’t for the better half, they’d be that way today.” It’s a playful and comical take on the differences between genders, but the impassioned vocals add a layer of truth to just how pivotal women have been in shaping and progressing modern culture. Without women, the personalities and habits of men would likely have stayed as dismal as they were in the early ages. The spelled out “W-O-M-A-N” provides a catchy melodic hook, delivered with a classic country twang and a growl full of attitude.
Bluesy piano adds some satisfying chaos to the production as the bass and drums continue to thrum. “Woman” is an empowering anthem for women, and a playful callout to men, reminding them to never forget how important women are for their survival. Forgette sings “ain’t no dog man’s best friend, it’s W-O-M-A-N,” turning a common phrase on its head for an extra fun lyric.
