Laura Marling has shared her new song ‘Child Of Mine’.
The songwriter’s eighth studio album ‘Patterns In Repeat’ is out on October 25th, her first in four years. Recorded at her London studio, the material revolves around motherhood – the responsibilities, the joys, the anxieties, and the unyielding commitment.
Out now, ‘Child Of Mine’ revels in simplicity – the melody was dreamed up while playing with her daughter, and has a self-conscious lullaby effect.
A first-time parent, ‘Child Of Mine’ affords Laura Marling space to meditate on the profound shifts in her life. The song was written, she explains, whilst “bouncing my daughter in her bouncer when she was four weeks old. I hadn’t sat down to write. It’d been a while since I’d picked up the guitar, just to pass the time, so maybe that did the trick. I wrote the lullaby soon after and thought ‘OK, maybe I could make a record this year’”.
A spark for the record as a whole, you can check out ‘Child Of Mine’ below.
Tune in now.
