According to Danai, “My new song, “Daughter,” is about the cycles of abuse that we bear witness to and endure. All people deserve to be treated with respect. The ability and power to create this relationship is within each of us, and is a direct result of the relationship that we have with ourselves.”
The song was recorded at Echoplant Studios in Port Coquitlam, B.C., and produced by Ryan Worsley. Micheal Meroniuk plays guitar on the track, while Jan Orsag plays the keyboards.
“Daughter” opens with radiant vocals flowing into an oozing bluesy-flavored pop groove, embellished by gleaming emergent colors from the synths. The measured rhythm rides potent drums and a throbbing bass line.
The poignant chorus reveals the portentous reality of the effects of pent up anger and vicious behavior. Everything that goes around comes back around with magnified consequences.
Danai’s voice, cool, sultry, and declarative is backed by luminous vocal harmonies, filling the gaps with harmonic depth and dazzling tones.
The lyrics, raw and searing, reveal how violence begats violence.
“So take it on back to the time you saw / Your daddy beat her down / You cried to yourself that you’d never / Be that crooked type a man / But no one ever taught you to / Deal with all that anger that you feel / So now you take your issues out / @ith your fists liquored up on a two six.”
The poignant chorus reveals the portentous reality of the effects of pent up anger and vicious behavior. Everything that goes around comes back around with magnified consequences.
“And one day you gon’ have a daughter / And she gon’ come crying to her father / About those filthy names they call her / And you’ll know that you’re part of the problem.”
With “Daughter,” Sophia Danai delivers worrisome truths on contagious discharges of cool, stylish electro-pop.
