Fourth Daughter

Calling Out Your Name

Listen: Calling Out Your Name — Fourth Daughter

April 16, 2023 in stream

Calling Out Your Name, from Fourth Daughter (real name Emily Atkinson), opens with crisp percussion and minimal synths. The result is a sound that gives the vocal the space it needs to shine — particularly as Atkinson launches into a reverb-heavy bridge.

As Calling Out Your Name progresses, however, the sound gets more complex. Coming out of the song’s chorus, the percussion develops a layered, clattering complexity. The mix feels sophisticated but thick, evoking the sort of classy nightclub pop of the late 90s and early 00s, like Everything But The Girl and Olive.

Atkinson’s inspiration includes contemporary talent such as Jamie XX and Sylvan Esso, and her artist pseudonym is a reference to her experience growing up as the youngest of four daughters. Music became a way to escape the boredom of growing up in the small-town Scottish countryside.

Calling Out Your Name is actually the b-side of Say What You Want. Calling Out Your Name is below, and you can check out both tracks here.
