Woman deconstruction

It seems (and sounds) that what a woman means and what she needs are two different things (ok, so far that's not exactly brand new information). The thing is that the second is being inspired by the first. Before you make your wtf? face, Freddie Joachim has something to say about a woman's needs.

 

Donny Hathaway has his own point of view about what a woman really means and if I judge by the comments below the video (e.g. "If he were still alive, let's just say I would be chasing him") he's right on.

Hathaway's song never made it to the "Extension of a man" album back in 1973, but Roberta Flack (with whom he counts multiple duets) released it in 1978 (with more of a groovy feeling, but if you ask me, Donny's version sounds more complete -at least for those of us who don't yawn with a little bit more romance). About 27 years after his death in 1979, it was released in a compilation with previously unreleased tracks by Atlantic artists. Freddie Joachim obviously felt inspired by this tune and came up with a contemporary view on the woman's needs.

If you like Freddie Joachim's sound, check out his soundcloud page here (personal favorite these last days: "To remind us" feat. Miles Bonny) and here you can download for free his "Dust" EP with "What a woman really needs" in it. If Hathaway is more like your kind of guy, search for the 4CD box set "Someday we'll all be free" (2010) with remastered recordings from this full of soul artist, along with previously unreleased tracks.
