Bedouine - Solitary Daughter

With recent single ‘Dusty Eyes’, Azniv Korkejian, aka Bedouine, provided a gorgeous slice of folk to usher in upcoming self-titled debut album.
Softly spoken stories woven over plucked acoustic guitars, ‘Solitary Daughter’ is a track that threatens to waft off into the distance, but the singer’s ambiguous, fascinating tales are ones that it’s impossible not to follow into the distance.
A whole verse is dedicated to things Bedouine doesn’t need and/or want, and so rarely has a new voice emerged that’s so content with being alone and answerable only to themselves.
Speaking to NPR, Korkejian said: ”The song is kind of a reaction to traditional gender roles. It was sort of a rejection of conventional romance; it’s not something that I needed. Sure, it might be something I would like, but I don’t need to be whisked away on someone else’s terms,” and ‘Solitary Daughter’ paints a picture of an artist completely in control, and firmly at the wheel. With this second taster of the upcoming LP, it’s impossible not to want to jump in next to her.
