"Woman" is the duet at the heart of Cat Power's 2018 album Wanderer, a single with Lana Del Rey stepping in on guest vocals. Cat Power wrote it, produced it herself and handed the mix to Rob Schnapf.
The song has a longer story than its running time suggests. It was the first thing she started recording for the album and the last she finished, and it wasn't on the version she delivered to her old label, which rejected it, leaving her a year to work out what came next. In that stretch Del Rey reached out on her own, then took her on tour, and the mastering waited. Back home, Cat Power asked Domino to let her add "Woman". Her reasoning was solidarity: a protest sign feels stronger with someone beside you, and without Del Rey it would have been one more sad Cat Power song.
