It is a very gratifying experience when you get to hear an artist who has really discovered her voice and MaKeyla is just that kind of an artist with her song “Woman”. Born in Stockholm but raised in the hip-hop clubs of Los Angeles, this powerhouse has taken an impressive journey-one that started with her teenage Swedish Idol performances, and all the twists and turns of that process can be heard in this empowering anthem.
The vocal performance by MaKeyla is the undisputed highlight of the track, a sharp confidence, mixed with calculated vulnerability. She switches effortlessly between playful mischievousness and unbreakable resilience, which is representative of the tumultuous emotional journey she went through in her years of transformation in LA. It is audible in all the well-thought punchlines that show her American life, which she was developing in the hip-hop circles that are so distant to her Swedish roots.
Her genre-bending development is brilliantly displayed in the production. Latino and Afrobeat influences enhance the pop and R&B foundations of her songs and form a lively sound environment, which throbs with international influences. This is no coincidence- it is the voice of a musician who has assimilated the various musical traditions and has altered them into something of her own.
The strength of Woman is in its authenticity. Having collaborated with Grammy-nominated songwriters and not being able to escape the influence of other people, MaKeyla has created something she can be proud of. The key message of the song emphasizes the strength and empowerment of women. It conveys that a strong woman is essential alongside a strong man, highlighting themes of partnership, resilience, and self-empowerment.
The rhythmic tune can be heavy and fun at the same time, which perfectly fits with the lyrics that honor female empowerment without losing subtleties. Woman is a success because it is an embodiment of the experience MaKeyla has earned herself by realizing that the real power lies in the ability to find your voice and not to give it up.
