About this episode

Somi releases a new single exploring the challenges of womanhood and societal expectations.

Somi drops her powerful new single “So You Want To Be A Woman,” featuring sax legend Lakecia Benjamin, as the third track from her upcoming album “What Does It Take To Bloom?”—out August 7 via Salon Africana. The song’s raw, soulful journey explores the crushing weight of societal expectations on women, framed as a heartfelt conversation with her younger self. It’s part of a bold, thematically rich project that follows the sultry “Sometimes Love” and the haunting “We’re All Falling,” promising a deep dive into identity, love, mortality, and liberation. This is Somi at her most vulnerable and visionary—don’t miss it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
