Written to an imaginary child about ‘what it is to be a woman in this society’, the singer’s seventh album is alternately intimate, sneering and sad, and lavished with gorgeous melodies

‘Talking about her past with an appealing roll of the eyes’ ... Laura Marling. Photograph: Partisan Recordshas described her seventh solo album as a kind of conceptual work. Song for Our Daughter, she says, is about “trauma and an enduring quest to understand what it is to be a woman in this society”. The songs are written to an imaginary child, offering her “all the confidences and affirmations I found so difficult to provide myself”. It has also turned up months earlier than expected.

UK coronavirus lockdown likely to be extended, says cabinet ministerCulture secretary Oliver Dowden says measures will be reviewed but unlikely to be eased MPs getting 10K each to work from home while everyone else is made unemployed, furloughed, or having their pay cut though.
