Daddy's Home is the sixth studio album by American musician St. Vincent, released on May 14, 2021 by Loma Vista Recordings. Like its predecessor, Masseduction (2017), Clark produced the album alongside Jack Antonoff. Daddy's Home was inspired by Clark's father's release from prison at the end of 2019, as well as the musical palette of New York City in the first half of the 1970s.[1][2] The record musically incorporates lounge-pop[3] and psychedelic music.[4] The album won the award for Best Alternative Music Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.[5]

Background

[edit]

In May 2010, Clark's father, Richard Clark was convicted on one count of conspiracy, seven counts of wire fraud, five counts of securities fraud, and one count of money laundering.[6] During his incarceration, Clark released three studio albums: Strange Mercy (2011), St. Vincent (2014) and Masseduction (2017), receiving a growing amount of attention with each album.[7] After his release in 2019, Clark was inspired to write the album's title track and also found inspiration in music made in New York City from 1971 to 1975,[2] a contrast to her previous albums, which were categorized as indie rock.[7]

On December 15, 2020, Clark revealed that she would be releasing her sixth studio album in 2021.[8] On February 25, 2021, street posters revealed that the album would be released on May 14, 2021.[9] Clark released the album's lead single, "Pay Your Way in Pain", on March 5, 2021. In a profile with The Forty-Five following the single's release, she stated that the theme of the album would be her father's release from prison. Clark added that she wanted to narrate her "story", opining that his release from prison was "a good starting point".[10]
