Blind Man’s Daughter is a project led by the talented Ashley Wolfe which first started back in 2012. Founded as a creative outlet for Ashley’s songwriting and musical visions, the project has undergone a remarkable evolution, reaching new heights since locating in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 2022.
Driven by a surge of creative energy and collaboration with local musicians, Blind Man’s Daughter has transformed from a studio endeavour into one of the most promising acts in the scene. In May last she made her official entrance with their debut single “Mirage Harmer,” which she followed up with singles two and three before dropping her first full-length record with the debut ten-track album “Sundressed.”
Following up the LP, she now brings us her latest release with the brand new single titled “Close Enough to Whisper,” the lead single lifted from the project’s upcoming sophomore album. Having made a name for thrilling alternative rock with her previous work, Ashley is now unveiling a new direction, leaning into an alternative pop sound.
Revealing a new side of her sonic vision with “Close Enough to Whisper,” she spins her stunning vocals over a moody arrangement of deep synth textures, intricate guitar flutters and a rattling trap-style beat. Ushered in with the soft pulse of sonic tones, gentle bass and distant guitar plucks are met with the snap of the beat as Ashley’s hushed vocals glide above.
Driven by a laid back groove and playful guitar licks that give an air of spontaneity and improvisation throughout, her voice weaves breathy lines to craft a dreamy vibe and mesmeric listening experience. Taking flight to soar above the mix, her vocals snake engaging melodies as she conjures images of a city scene at night.
Showcasing her musical versatility with a stark shift in her sonic output, Blind Man’s Daughter offers an astonishing creative pivot delivered via pure talent and songwriting flair. Signalling an exciting new chapter for the artist, the single builds the hype for the forthcoming second album while expanding the project’s impressive catalogue of music.
