Song for Our Daughter by Laura Marling
Song for Our Daughter is an album by Laura Marling, released in 2020. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 12 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Held Down”, on 5 lists with a best position of #7.
Song for Our Daughter, Laura Marling's seventh studio album, came out on Chrysalis on 10 April 2020, and the daughter in the title is a figure of speech: Marling addresses these songs to a child who exists only on the page. She co-produced it with Ethan Johns, a longtime collaborator, and the record has an unfussy, lived-in warmth, with "Held Down" and "Strange Girl" the songs that reached the countdowns.
It made the 2020 Mercury Prize shortlist, her fourth time in the running, and picked up a Best Folk Album nomination at the 63rd Grammys.
