Feature: FATAI - W.O.M.A.N
Emotional resonance and vibrance set the tone of W.O.M.A.N the debut album from FATAI.
Having spent many years of her career elevating as a performer and storyteller in Australia and abroad, the road FATAI has taken towards W.O.M.A.N is one that has been marked with lessons learned, personal growth and appreciation for the relationships and experiences that have built her into the truest version of herself we hear throughout the album.
Moments of pause and reflection (‘Joys Of Life’) meet pure songs of love – love for others and love for oneself – including the impactful tracks ‘Love Is On My Mind’, ‘And Then Some’ and ‘Brick and Mortar’; the latter being a beautiful dedication to her parents.
Elsewhere, FATAI looks at herself through a mirror of realism, facing past behaviours and patterns that may have served her in young adulthood, that she has now grown through. Themes of isolation, grief and acceptance are explored with nuance through songs like ‘Waltzy Lullaby’, ‘What Does It All Mean?’ and ‘When You Say No’.
“The song talks about what it means to have it all but still feel completely empty and lonely. I’ve felt that a few times in my life. And when you do feel like this, it should always indicate to you a few things. Something needs to change, material things will never amount to true happiness, and there is more to life and who we are than what we do.”
–FATAI (‘What Does It All Mean?’)
Hailing from Melbourne, FATAI’s charisma and emotionally-charged presence won audiences instantly and across the formative chapters of her career, her blend of R&B, soul, and pop music brought FATAI viral success online, as well as a dedicated fanbase in Australia and beyond.
W.O.M.A.N the debut album from FATAI is available to stream now.
