First released in 2021
Woman appeared on Doja Cat’s 2021 album Planet Her. The track places a confident vocal performance over an Afrobeats-influenced pop rhythm, using repeated melodic and rhythmic figures to connect its different vocal sections.
The accompaniment has a buoyant, syncopated motion, with percussion and bass shaping the space around the singing. Doja Cat moves between smoother melodic lines and more sharply articulated phrases without losing the track’s underlying rhythmic flow.
Listen to how the lead vocal locks into different parts of the beat. The shifts in phrasing create variation within a deliberately recurring arrangement, giving the refrain a clear identity while leaving room for different vocal colors.
