Overall Impression: Horatio Gordon and Kacey the Songbird team up to produce an anthem for modern change - citing that sometimes the best man for the job is "A Woman"! Lush R&B vibes weave an ethereally inviting soundscape as Horatio and Kacey join forces on a hook that affirms feminine leadership and reinforces what the attentive already know - some of the situations humanity faces can only be cleared up through the perspective and power of womankind.
Strongest Point(s): The overall feel at work in "A Woman" is strong, delivering a poignant message through a light-hearted and open vibe. Kacey the Songbird's contributions to the record give it the feminine attributes needed to bring the message fully home, and enrich the harmonic texture massively! The hook itself is the full backbone of the track, with a melody that sticks and a flow that feels natural and inviting for listener engagement. Horatio Gordon's verses bring a surprising burst of rhythmic color as well as topically relevant lyrics geared towards women working for change in the present moment. Great sound, and a strong vibe!
Target Audience Appeal: Horatio Gordon and Kacey the Songbird have crafted a sound that stands to resonate among fans of Indie R&B with old school influences, while the specific lyrical content and overarching theme of "A Woman" are for anybody tired of seeing men continue to mess things up! "A Woman" has the potential to become anthemic in circles of equal-opportunity and feminist activism. - Jon W.
