When I think of the concept of a perfect woman, I oftentimes find myself comparing my attributes to the concept and coming up short. This is a phenomenon I am certain is not isolated to just me. I immediately harkened back to the year 2000 and the O-Town tune “Liquid Dreams.” I’m showing my age here, but boy bands were important to the commercially popular music scene then. Don’t judge.
In the pop track, semi-grown men list off physical attributes of celebrities they wish they could puzzle-piece together to make the perfect woman or “the star of my liquid dreams.” Now that I think about it, it’s more than a little ewwwwy yet we sang along. As listeners, we believed they had a good idea about this, and even compared ourselves or women in our lives to the chopped-up idea of what a perfect woman should be.
‘Perfect Woman’ from CAL. and John Concepcion
Flash forward to August 28, 2020, and the concept of the ideal partner takes a refreshing and mature spin in the cleverly written song ‘Perfect Woman’ from CAL. and John Concepcion.
‘Perfect Woman’ mentions the mentality of making “requirements” for a woman to fit an ideal, then shrugs off the notion. CAL. and Concepcion uplift the concepts of authenticity, self-love, self-respect, intelligence, independence, and industriousness. The song is a grown man’s spotlight on a woman as her highest self. You are immediately pulled into the conversation about the perfect woman from the top of the track. Listeners follow the beat right into a hook from crooner John Concepcion that makes you dance (no matter where you are!). Then you’re carried through the entirety of the piece by old-school hip-hop rap vibes from CAL. At 4:02 the song is slightly longer than the average but leaves you wanting more — as any good piece should.
So, what’s the verdict on ‘Perfect Woman?’
Overall, this song was a surprise. I didn’t expect progressive lyrics on a rap track, but I am more than happy that I gave this project a listen. The message is solid, fun, and laid over a convergence of rap and R&B sounds. “Perfect Woman” features sensuous melodies and trap rhythms. This track isn’t your typical slow jam. It somehow captures an upbeat rhythm with a sexy sound, that will get you out of your seat AND reframe your concept of what it means to be and seek perfection.
