On the track, the band offers: “This is a response song to Shania Twain’s 1998 banger “That Don’t Impress Me Much.” As we would all be pretty impressed if someone had a car or was a rocket scientist, it made us wonder: Shania, how could we impress you?“
The band has a knack for playfully honest songwriting. This shines especially strong on the new single, “Shania,” which was written as a response to the 1998 Shania Twain hit “That Don’t Impress Me Much.” “Shania, tell me / How do I impress you?,” Robin Edwards beseeches. Clocking in at just a minute and a half, the endearingly curt track captures the band’s penchant for summer-y spunk at its finest.

More from Who Is She?:
Who Is She?’s previous record, 2017’s Seattle Gossip, was a field trip through endless delights. A collection of unforgettable rock n’ roll hits about rom-coms, missed connection ads, the magic of a MySpace Top 8, and the chemistry of David Arquette and Courtney Cox. Now, the Seattle supergroup of master songwriters – Robin Edwards (Lisa Prank), Bree Mckenna (Tacocat), and Julia Shapiro (Chastity Belt) – are joined by a new member: Tacocat’s Emily Nokes, who brings glorious harmonies to the studio and keyboards to the live experience, adding a new dimension to an expansive universe of sound. And with a new member comes word of a new record: Goddess Energy.
An album named in tribute to the kindest diss anyone could deliver, when the collective’s longtime friend Aaron Greene once politely declined to have lunch with them because it would be “too much goddess energy.” As in all things Who Is She?, an inside joke amongst friends becomes so much more.
These are songs born of the strength of friendship and community, cultivated through song-a-day challenges and late-night jams, taking the moments of their lives and the world around them and turning them on their heads, sculpting earworms and unforgettable hooks from their bones. “The three of us are always down to jam,” Mckenna says of their process that takes innocuous themes like Shania Twain and Anne Hathaway and builds them out into worlds to lose yourself in for a few minutes of pure blissful respite.
Produced by the legendary Jenn Champion (Carissa’s Wierd, S), Goddess Energy is a group chat struck by lightning and given life, a sonic bombardment of riffs and turns-of-phrase.
The communal spirit thrives in the songs of Who Is She?, awash in the light of longtime friends that build on the strength of each other’s ideas, thoughts, jokes, and vibes, compressing it all together into perfect nuggets of songs. “I feel like the band is a vehicle for hanging out,” adds Edwards, as Shapiro puts it with an effortless succinct aside, “we’re a friendship band.”
