A collection of ten merciless and arresting new songs, Please Daddy showcases the best of Sarah Mary Chadwick's songwriting and story-telling, whilst, crucially, offering moments of lightness and humour too. With the addition of woodwind instruments and golden, flourishing melodies, Please Daddy represents a step forward, suggesting "that it’s still possible to find meaning when you’re weighed down by feelings".
It’s hard to think of a musical career today so dedicated to plumbing the depths, so unafraid to put its hand into the fire.
This music is hard. Not in the sense of machismo or of complexity or of book-smarts or even tunelessness (there’s melodies for days), but in the sense that you will come into contact with great pain. It’s probably Sarah’s, but it might be yours, and as such this disc needs to be handled carefully, as though it glows with some kind of half-life accrued from traumas across a lifetime.
