Song Of The Week – Holly Macve’s ‘Daddy’s Gone’

Here at Music and Tour News we are absolutely loving teaming up with the incredible folk over at Modern Age Music Roots HQ to bring you our chosen Song Of The Week every Monday evening and our latest choice comes in the form of Holly Macve’s standout single ‘Daddy’s Gone’.

The stellar track is the latest to be lifted off Macve’s forthcoming studio album ‘Not The Girl’ which releases on May 14th via Modern Sky and it is a truly phenomenal taste of what’s to come from the future record that promises to be one of the most eclectic collections of the year.

Holly Macve is an artist who knows exactly what she wants her music to sound like and isn’t afraid to take risks to create the soundscape she’s proud of and with ‘Daddy’s Gone’ she is bold with her lyrical, and production choices making for a remarkable offering from one of Britain’s most exciting prospects.

It is a truly beautiful song from one of country music’s most talented performers and the way she brings to life the devasting passing of her dad will no doubt strike a chord with listeners across the globe – moving, and heartfelt this is a story from the heart and its one that Holly tells incredibly well.

There is something hauntingly enchanting about the way Macve digs deep into her memories to create a story arc that brings her father’s memory to life whilst the melancholy overlay complements the poignant lyrics in a mesmerising way making ‘Daddy’s Gone’ one of the most impressive roots releases of 2021.
