"I'm A Good Woman. This classic by Barbara Lynn has accompanied Maiiah ever since her old friend Henry Storch (Unique Records), who sadly passed away in 2018, once sent it to her as a consolation for her broken heart. Time and again she was associated with the song and time and again she brought it to the stage herself. Now it was finally her turn to record her own version as a tribute for her long-awaited debut album, which she wants to release with the Angels of Libra and for which there is a crowdfunding going on until 2.7. to finance the pressing and release.
In times of "Me Too", the message of "I'm A Good Woman" seems particularly up to date. Without pointing the finger at anyone, the liberation of a tormented woman is described here. Emotional, angry, resolute, desperate, determined. Soul in its purest form.
Maiiah & Angels of Libra have already released three singles together ("No No No (I'm So Broke)", "Sunshine" and "Obey") and have had some success, including rotation on Radioeins and more international airplay and a well-attended club tour in Germany with Nathan Johnston this spring. With the announcement of their first joint album, which mixes deep funk, Northern soul and Balkan influences and which, except for this one track, will contain only originals, their next big thing is to follow.
