"Supawoman" is a song by American Idol finalist, Kimberley Locke from her Based on a True Story album. Originally planned as the lead single from the album, market testing in August 2006 did not show much support to the track and Curb Records decided not to move forward with promotional plans, even though the song was used briefly in a Lane Bryant advertising campaign, which Locke was a spokesperson for. Change was later released as the lead single instead.
While the album version is a downtempo R&B song, an 80's Drum and Bass inspired remix by Def Jef was made for radio promotion. Fan reaction to the song was positive, however opinions on the remix were mixed. The promotional CDs featured the following tracklist:
- "Supawoman" (DMH Mix Short Intro)
- "Supawoman" (DMH Mix)
A version featuring rapper Patey Pablo remains unreleased.
[edit] Billboard Review
One of the more successful losers of "American Idol," Locke makes her eagerly awaited return with a more urban turn than 2003 pop smash "8th World Wonder" and follow-up AC hits "Better Than This" and "I Could." Still in force are her supercharged chops, perfectly suited to this robust anthem attesting to the inherent gifts of a good woman in search of an equally quality man. The slightly amped tempo of the accompanying DHM radio edit (3:11) gives the track more of a drum'n'bass sting. Locke, more than most members of the franchise, proves that she has long-term prospects. In fact, next to Kelly Clarkson, Locke has the greatest chance of expunging the "A.I." stigma and becoming an entity of her own. - Chuck Taylor
