Track Of The Day: Daughter Of A Drum, ‘Hippy’

Daughter Of A Drum’s latest single ‘Hippy’ is an audacious and vibrant offering from the Co. Kildare multi-instrumentalist.

Penned during a moment of inspiration in the shower, the track marks Daughter Of A Drum’s, born Aoife McAtamney, inaugural venture into songwriting.

Both contemplative and catchy, ‘Hippy’ pays homage to the Irish Mammy, portraying the complexities of a woman navigating relationships and the role of motherhood, set against a genre-defying jazzy backdrop.

Nurtured by the guidance of McAtamney’s mentor and NYC artist, Justin Vivian Bond, the song opens with a moody trio of silky vocals, mysterious piano chords and scattered rhythmic section, followed by a stirring, wind-instruments supported chorus.

The single is McAtamney’s second release from her upcoming debut album Pink Breath, a follow-up to the haunting vocals of her previous single ‘Heal Me’.

Daughter Of A Drum is a multi-instrumentalist from from Celbridge Co. Kildare best known  for captivating live performances that blend contemporary dance and song.

Her upcoming album Pink Breath is set for release on August 30.
