Info for Like A Woman

Kacy Hill - the G.O.O.D. Music chanteuse whose buzz began with 2015's Bloo EP and its viral hit "Arm's Length" - now reveals her highly-anticipated debut album „Like A Woman“.

The Arizona native Hill first fell in love with performance as a member of the Vanessa Beecroft-curated performance troupe for Kanye West's Yeezus tour, and West was quick to sign her and offer his mentorship. Through West's advice, Kacy has made some serious changes in her sound and her story as an artist: focusing on her voice, finding her own melody, and writing from the parts of her heart that she had previously kept close. LIKE A WOMAN's songs are about intimacy, longing, heartbreak, and exploration.

Hailed by New York Magazine as "ethereal yet catchy" and "one to watch," Kacy has been steadily building her buzz over the past two years; a feature on Travis Scott's debut album as well as Cashmere Cat's, a collaborator on Kid Cudi's album, the cover of V Magazine's music issue, several fashion spreads in Vogue. This month alone, Kacy can be found in the pages of Elle's 'Women In Music' issue, a huge spread in Flaunt, and on the cover of Galore.

"Like A Woman is an exploration of my own femininity and sexuality. I want my audience to have a similar experience of their own while listening. My goal is not to make a statement, but make space for exploration without shame or guilt. I don't speak for all women. I speak for Kacy Hill." (Kacy Hill)

“The whole album is really about my experiences in being a woman and finding my own femininity and sexuality separate from what’s projected onto me through the Internet and through what I see in the world,” the Hard to Love singer tells Fuse. “My message is that you’re allowed to be a sexual being and someone that demands respect.”

Like a Woman is executive produced by none other than label founder Kanye West who helped Hill “steer the album” to reflect the vision and sound that she wanted. She added that West stressed the importance of an artist’s sentiment and making sure fans connect to her messaging. At Kanye’s suggestion, Kacy has made serious changes in her sound and her story as an artist: focusing on her voice, finding her own melody, and writing from the parts of her heart that she had previously kept close. The songs on Like A Woman are about intimacy, longing, heartbreak, and exploration.

Kacy Hill
Everyone likes to watch. At least a little. To sneak a peek, catch a glimpse, get a taste of something exciting. Kacy Hill certainly does, and with Like A Woman, she’s inviting her fans to do the same. The album is an experiment in sexuality, an immersive sex positive experience, in which Kacy takes listeners into her mind and her world. To create this world, Hill has developed a unique visual and auditory story, toeing the line between titillation and tenderness, playing with the boundaries of what it means to be a sexually awakened woman in 2017.

“Sexuality is a part of my life that I have avoided,” Hill says, citing her discomfort with the attention she received after the release of her breakout single “Arm’s Length,” when some images of her modeling for American Apparel surfaced online. At the time they were shot, these images were “fun, and freeing, and like something I had ownership of,” she says. Once they were a topic of conversation, however, she felt that the narrative was being taken out of her hands, and turned into something scandalous. So, she did what any new artist would to: she went to her mentor, Kanye West.

West’s advice caused Hill to make some serious changes in her sound and her story as an artist. She began focusing more on her voice, letting the melody lead the track, and writing from the parts of her heart that she had previously kept close. The album is about sex, but it’s also about intimacy, longing, heartbreak, and exploration. Where Hill had previously been relying on catchy hooks and production to tell her stories, now she’s relying on her deepest longing, desire, and curiosity to inform the tracks.

The first two singles, “Hard to Love” and the title track, “Like A Woman” introduce listeners to this new Kacy Hill. On “Hard to Love” Hill’s voice is front and center, tender and pleading with the listener, to remember their own heartbreaks, but not to let them defeat them. A radio ready pop track, “Hard to Love” is a sweet song about sadness, touching on the tender side of sexuality. Meanwhile, “Like a Woman” is a passionate, slow burning song, that builds slowly before opening up to give Hill’s voice room to breathe. Both songs are sexy and full of the quiet passion of a woman who is longing to touch and be touched, in all kinds of different ways.

This album contains no booklet.
