The track is the second taste of the lauded artist’s upcoming sophomore album
Deeply personal and packed full of the kind of immersive, thoughtful songwriting that the artist has earned a great deal of acclaim and reverence for, Mae Krell’s latest single ‘i think i’d like to have a daughter’ is a track that tackles a lot of complicated and conflicting feelings in a way that feels raw and powerful throughout while offering a vulnerable window into the artist’s soul.
As a lesbian in a same sex relationship, the concept of having a daughter is something that will always have some level of sacrifice or grief to it for Mae, unable to biologically have one that shares the DNA of both her and her partner, and this realisation that she might want that brings up a lot of challenging feelings that feel unfair and hard. The track delicate carries the weight of that in a really resonating way, moving with a sense of softness and intricacy that feels both hopeful and curious yet quietly melancholy, imagining ideas of futures and possibilities in ways that can never quite come to life in reality.
