Emtee Records has its sights set on something powerful, raw and deeply resonant. The label’s rising artist, BABYG!RL ZAE, is gearing up to release her highly anticipated project, MATR!ARCHY, set to arrive this week and this one’s making history before it even drops.
The label shared on Instagram an intriguing message from its founder, Emtee, that read, “Up Next! An all-women body of work is crazy. Don’t blink. Watch this space. S/O to the ladies on the project.”
The post was brief but powerful with a signal that something distinct was in motion. It hinted at an all-female collaboration under the label’s wing, and at its centre is the fast-rising artist BABYG!RL ZAE, who is leading the upcoming project titled MATR!ARCHY. The announcement was quickly followed by conversations across platforms, with followers eager to learn more about what this all-women project represents and how it came together.
Before Emtee’s post, BABYG!RL ZAE opened up about the process behind the upcoming release. Speaking on the project’s creation, she revealed that MATR!ARCHY was built on stories shared by women she engaged with during intimate discussions about life, growth and womanhood. Each story, experience, and reflection contributed to the themes that shape the songs on the album. “This project is the first project that I’ve made this way, not only is it my opinions and views on topics, but its topics given to me by other women through sharing their stories, beliefs, experiences and thoughts about womanhood.” BABYG!RL ZAE had shared on her Instagram post.
She explained that the project wasn’t designed as a single narrative but rather as a shared expression. Every track explores a different perspective inspired by the voices of women she interviewed. Once the themes were defined, the process evolved into a collaborative effort that brought other female artists together with each one contributing her voice, her truth and her presence to complete the body of work. She wrote “I couldn’t have made this project come to life without the women involved and I am beyond grateful for each and every one of you.”
BABYG!RL ZAE described the space created during this process as open and supportive, one that allowed the artists to express themselves freely while uncovering layers of strength and authenticity in their stories. She emphasized her appreciation for everyone involved, acknowledging how their input gave the project its heart and meaning.
Set to be released on November 7, 2025, MATR!ARCHY marks a defining step for Emtee Records, not only highlighting emerging female talent but also embracing collective storytelling through music. With its focus on unity, empowerment and collaboration, the project stands as a representation of women contributing their voices to one shared soundscape with a record made by many, carried by one name and supported by a label that continues to amplify new creative directions.
