Jyoti Prakash Mishra es un músico nacido en Rourkela, Estado de Odisha (India), el 30 de Julio de 1966. Su familia emigró al Reino Unido cuando cumplió tres años de edad. En 1989, inició su proyecto musical, por el cual es igualmente conocido, denominado White Town, junto a algunos músicos británicos, luego de observar una presentación de Pixies. Su primer disco, fue autofinanciado, denominado epónimamente; poco después los músicos con los que trabajó para este lanzamiento lo abandonaron, permitiéndole a Mishra concentrarse individualmente para futuros lanzamientos.
En 1997 presenta su álbum "Women in Technology", el cual lo catapultó a la fama. Antes de producir su álbum, Mishra envió cinco copias a sendas emisoras británicas de su disco "Abort, Retry, Fail?", donde incluía el tema promocional del álbum mencionado, el cual tuvo alta rotación y motivó a la disquera EMI a contratarle y producir ese álbum. Ese tema promocional es el que compartiré a continuación.
"Your Woman" fue producido en 1996 y lanzado en 1997, donde Mishra cita sobre el tema que se puede ver desde diversas situaciones, y que pese a estar escrito en primera persona, el personaje que está detrás de esa perspectiva no es necesariamente lo que espera la persona que escucha el tema. El video fue producido con resemblanzas a las películas de las décadas de 1920 y 1930, incluyendo una referencia a la película "Un perro andaluz", de Luis Buñuel. El tema alcanzó a puntear las listas británicas, llegar a las cinco mejores canciones de las listas australianas y otras listas europeas y no destacó mucho en el resto del mundo.
Este tema está considerado como "one-hit wonder" y el mismo Jyoti Mishra dijo tiempo después que es mejor estar así que ser considerado un "no-hit wonder", que en resumidas cuentas, significa el no tener canción alguna que haya destacado en alguna lista. ¡Sírvanse escuchar este gran tema!

"Just tell me what you've got to say to me,
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth,
it comes as no surprise at all you see,
so cut the crap and tell me that we're through."
"Now I know your heart, I know your mind,
you don't even know you're being unkind,
so much for all your high brow marxist ways,
just use me up and then you walk away.
Boy, you can't play me that way!"
"Well, I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman."
"I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman."
"When I saw my best friend yesterday,
she said she never liked you from the start,
well me, I wish that I could claim the same,
but you always knew you held my heart."
"And you're such a charming, handsome man,
now I think I finally understand,
is it in your genes, I don't know,
but I'll soon find out, that's for sure.
Why did you play me this way?"
"Well, I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman."
"I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman."
"Well I guess what they say is true,
I could never spend my life with a man like you.
I could never be your woman."
"I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman,
I could never be your woman."
