Wattmore turn heartbreak into an anthem with “I Don’t Miss That Woman”

It’s raw, rollicking, and exactly the song your playlist will be dialing up when the clock strikes heartbreak hour.
Wattmore, composed of two brothers who’ve perfected the art of harmonizing with both their voices and their mischief, they lean into their signature blend of sharp wit and even sharper musicianship.

The guitar work is an absolute standout, with intricate fingerpicking that dances effortlessly between fiery lead lines and rhythmic drive. Add in a subtle harmonica that chimes in like a well-timed smirk, and you’ve got an arrangement that’s equal parts technical brilliance and front-porch fun.
What makes I Don’t Miss That Woman hit even harder is Wattmore’s vocal chemistry. They deliver every line and harmony with a fun touch, a shrug, and just a hint of that not-so-hidden sting, turning personal experience into a universally relatable rallying cry for anyone who's ever been left holding the emotional baggage.
