Snobette Sounds Best New Music By Women: January 2022

February 2, 2022. Leave a Comment

The biggest news to come from two of the game’s most powerful music creatives in January was not actually song related, rather it was the announcement that Robyn Rihanna Fenty and A$AP Rocky (real name Rahim Mayers) are expecting a child together. The endlessly-stylish couple made the announcement with, appropriately enough, a street style editorial, photographed in Harlem, Rocky’s home turf.

How the happy news will impact Rihanna and Rocky’s plans to release new music is unknown, though it’s a good bet that whatever does happen, it won’t include touring.

Meanwhile, plenty of new music was dropped in January, starting with a 17-song FKA Twigs mixtape. My list also shouts out Dreya Mac’s insanely viral “Own Brand (Baddie)” which received a further lift this week with the release of a super fun visual every bit as energetic and unique as the song.

In addition to FKA Twig and Dreya Mac’s singles, Snobette Sounds’ round up of best new music by women in January includes music by or featuring Ella Mai, Chloe, Jija, Elle Eliades, Raveena, Stefflon Don, Cuban Doll, Coi Leray, Tori Kelly, Chyng Diamond, Cherele, Rayana Jay, Sinéad Harnett, Jane Handcock, AWA and Nolah Young.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."

Atlanta-based Pluto and YK Niece released Whim Wha Atlanta-based Pluto and YK Niece released Whim Whamiee single a few weeks ago, and the track is now trending on TikTok as the "Lululemon Song". 

Rapper JT shared that she's hooked on the song, especially the "Lulu" verse.

To witness an athletic apparel brand being name-dropped in hip-hop by emerging women rappers highlights how much women love their fitness/athleisure wear but also the fact that there is a flex that comes with wearing Lululemon in certain circles.

 Male rappers Jbeezy.Lfg and Lil Scoom89
respectively dropped singles titled Lululemon last year referencing women wearing the brand. 

Whim Whamiee by is now streaming on all DSPs.
