Geowulf announces first solo album, The Child

“I feel like this album is my most personal lyrically – I’m talking about becoming a mum, as well as my own family,” she says. Across The Child, Kendrick sings of friendships, familial ties and new motherhood with clarity and profound confidence. “I’ve written a lot about heartbreak and relationships in the past, and I think on this album I finally found the space where I could tell more personal stories” she explains.

The Child came from a period in which she had to take stock of her life thus far and make some hard decisions about what she wanted to do with her future. “When I was writing about relationship stuff and romance, it was important, but it was also kind of a bandaid – I was essentially distracting myself by writing about failures and f***boys,” she says.

The forthcoming release is set to follow Geowulf’s 2019 album, My Resignation. In the five years that have passed, Kendrick amicably split with bandmate Banjanin, who trained to become a social worker, and became a mother.

As a title, The Child, refers both to Kendrick’s new baby as well as the child she herself once was, and all that child endured to get to where Kendrick is today. “This album was a lot of me trying to work out what my new life would look like as a mother, and, through that, processing stuff from when I was a child.”
