Womack Sisters Release Self-Titled Debut Album on Daptone Records, Embark on Global Tour

The Womack Sisters – granddaughters of soul legend Sam Cooke and daughters of former duo partners Cecil and Linda Womack – are set to launch their self‑titled debut album on Daptone Records on August 14, 2026. The release follows a 2022 EP, Legacy, and a 2017 single, “Darling,” and will be supported by a worldwide tour that includes dates with Thee Sacred Souls, La Lom, and a headline show with Al Green at the Hollywood Bowl.

The trio’s lineage is a key part of their story. The sisters – BG, Zeimani, and Kucha – grew up in a family that traveled extensively, with parents touring every two years between Thailand, London, Paris, Switzerland, Amsterdam, Jamaica, Johannesburg, Hong Kong, the Bahamas, and a Nigerian village. According to the source, the sisters did not fully appreciate the breadth of that experience until their teens, when they realized the cost of constant travel. “We didn’t know it was so amazing until we got older and realized that traveling is expensive,” said eldest sister BG.

In their mid‑teens, the sisters moved to Los Angeles to pursue their own path. While working side jobs – including driving for Uber, cleaning, and working at a marijuana dispensary – they refined a sound that blends classic girl‑group influences with contemporary R&B. Their first official single, “Darling,” was released in 2017, and the 2022 EP Legacy paid homage to their heritage with a cover of Sam Cooke’s 1964 anthem “A Change Is Gonna Come.” The EP also showcased the sisters’ songwriting skills, which they later applied to work with artists such as B.o.B., Mya, and The Game.

The upcoming album marks a milestone for the family. The sisters’ parents, Cecil and Linda, were a songwriting and performing partnership known as Womack & Womack, who achieved international success in the 1980s and 1990s. Their own struggles with the American music industry – including label rejection and the need to self‑fund releases – informed the sisters’ understanding of the business side of music. “If you’re not on top of the business side of it, you can sound as good as you want, but it won’t make a difference,” said BG.

The release will be accompanied by a tour that begins in Los Angeles and includes stops in the U.S. and Europe. The sisters will share the stage with Thee Sacred Souls, a soul‑blues collective, and La Lom, a Los Angeles‑based R&B group. A special concert with Al Green at the Hollywood Bowl is scheduled for August 15, the day after the album launch. The tour is part of a broader effort to re‑introduce the Womack legacy to new audiences while honoring the family’s roots.

Industry observers note that the Womack Sisters’ approach reflects a broader trend of legacy artists leveraging modern platforms and independent labels to maintain creative control. Daptone Records, known for its focus on soul and funk, has previously released work by The White Stripes and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. The label’s partnership with the sisters underscores a commitment to authentic, high‑quality soul production.

In addition to the album and tour, the sisters have expressed interest in writing for other high‑profile artists, citing a desire to keep their songwriting focused on their own material for the time being. They have also highlighted the influence of their uncle Bobby Womack, who managed them early on after hearing a family Christmas CD.

The Womack Sisters’ debut album and tour represent a continuation of a multi‑generational musical legacy. With the release scheduled for August 14, 2026, and a global tour that follows, the trio is poised to bring their blend of classic soul and contemporary R&B to audiences worldwide.
