Your Woman

In 1997, a mysterious one-man act called White Town (a.k.a. Jyoti Mishra) scored an unlikely #1 hit in the UK with “Your Woman.” Built on a scratchy 1930s jazz sample, a catchy trumpet riff, and ambiguous lyrics about unrequited love (from an unconventional perspective), the song’s genre-blurring style and moody charm made it stand out. It reached the US Top 30 and became a true one-hit wonder of the late ’90s. “Your Woman” remains a fascinating pop anomaly — a blend of vintage and modern that left listeners pondering the storyteller’s identity and enjoying the sly, seductive groove long after the ’90s ended.
