Powerhouse Roberta Lea Teams Up With Stellar Female Musicians For "Too Much of a Woman"

Country-Neo-Pop artist Roberta Lea is releasing the full track to her mic-dropping anthem "Too Much of a Woman" featuring some of the most talented musicians in the U.S. - and they're all women. Dubbed a "dis track to misogyny," the mid-tempo powerhouse is the first single from Lea's highly-anticipated album of the same title. The song is set to be released on March 24, 2023 on all streaming platforms. 

The Virginia native initially released "Too Much of a Woman" as an acoustic single on Bandcamp in March of 2022. Solely written and produced by Lea, the fully tracked version features Vanessa McGowan’s rhythmic bass line (bassist for Brandy Clark), Ellen Angelico’s smokey lap steel melodies ("all-things-strings" Nashville musician), Megan Jane’s tight and dirty drum patterns (Nashville based-drummer) and Jackie Venson’s electric whispers and killer guitar solo (rising Austin-based artist). Lea layers the track with haunting pop-country harmonies that grip the sticky melody.

The chorus' finishing line - “If I’m too much of a woman, boy, you’re too little of a man”- hits listeners like a dagger, forcing them to evaluate underlying insecurities that would drive them to put anyone in a box. Met with shouts and applause when performed live, TMOAW is poised to be a timeless girl-power anthem. In the light of oppressive laws currently affecting women across the globe, there never seems to be enough of them.

"I've gotten the perspective from women all over the world about the battles they constantly face just because they simply exist." Lea says. "Existing shouldn't be a fight. But it has been for women for far too long."
