Today, January 22, 2025, clovers daughter released her debut single ‘are you coming home?’
‘are you coming home?’ is an indie folk track that uses clear production, a mix of electronic and acoustic sounds, and somber emotion to make something dreamy and captivating. The production is definitely a highlight. The mesh of acoustic and electric sounds is seamlessly blended. The atmospheric synths build a sense of introspection, and the acoustic guitar gives a sound that is both raw and natural. The vocals take the foreground, and they hold, bend, and transition notes well with a smooth alto tone with an emotional performance. Though they rest in front of the mix, they don’t take away from the instrumentation. Lyrically, it takes on a story of pain, want, and change. It captures a relationship full of pain and apology with a drive toward the other, as the main voice is asking for them to come home. Further in, it references getting older and an emptiness found in the world.
As a debut single ‘are you coming home?’ rivals the talent of larger artists in the emotional indie pop and folk scene. The artist Noor Shami, the American-Palestinian voice behind clovers daughter, uses her musical influences to paint emotional and introspective scenes. This brand-new single falls nothing short of that. With such a strong debut, it’s no secret that listeners will wonder what’s coming next!
