The track is timeless in the way Jones speaks of romance within the people around him. It paints a picture of a classic love story filled with undeniable admiration. A tale as old as time, but one many have nearly forgotten. “WOMAN, MY LADY” redirects us to that voice in our head telling us to dance, breathe, and love. It’s effortlessly nostalgic.
From the immediate pull initiated by the very first beat, a sway of your shoulders is to be expected. As more layers unfold to reveal the true masterpiece of a track, it’s mesmerizing at its very core.
