Genevieve Dawson - What's Mine Is Yours EP (2023) Hi-Res

My Mother’s Rage is out now! I’m really proud of this song, and the windy path I had to take to get it to you.

It’s the first single from a 5 track EP which will be released on 26th May called What’s Mine Is Yours.

My Mother’s Rage fell out of me almost in one go, the melody seemed to arrive from somewhere outside of me. I’d been thinking a lot about inherited and lived trauma and all the pent-up rage that needs to go somewhere. The ‘mother’ in the song is both my mother and all the mothers, all the women who came before me who’ve had to carry so much violence on their backs.

The backing vocals were recorded with a group of friends in Woolwich Foot Tunnel at midnight - I wanted us to be literally underwater, like the lyric says. It felt like a strange ritual, meeting late at night, and descending into this space below the Thames to sing and scream together.

The accompanying film, film, made by Lara Laeverenz, Serena Mirambeau Brey and Ciara Reddy, follows those six singers as they descend deeper into the city, and find solidarity and strength with each other.
