You might not have heard of clovers daughter yet, but that’s about to change. The singer-songwriter is making waves with her debut single “are you coming home?” landing on January 22, and let me tell you – this isn’t your typical freshman effort. The artist, who goes by Noor Shami off-stage, has crafted something that feels both intensely personal and universally relatable in just under three minutes.
I got an early listen to the track, and what struck me most was how seasoned it sounds. For a debut single, it’s remarkably self-assured. The production is crisp and polished – sometimes debut singles can feel rough around the edges, but not this one. Every element, from the layered guitars to the punctuated drum work, sits perfectly in the mix. It’s the kind of professional sound you’d expect from an artist several releases deep into their career.
“are you coming home?” isn’t just technically impressive; it’s emotionally resonant too. The song explores those universal feelings of longing and disconnection that we’ve all grappled with at some point. There’s something particularly moving about how she captures small, intimate moments – like stumbling in a kitchen or leaving whispered apologies that go unanswered. These details feel lived-in, authentic.
What makes clovers daughter’s story even more compelling is her organic path to music. Unlike many emerging artists today, she didn’t grow up in a musical household or attend prestigious arts schools. Instead, her journey began with a humble $20 kids’ guitar and using her mother’s living room couch as an impromptu drum kit. She taught herself to play through Google searches and countless hours of bedroom practice – a testament to raw passion and determination.
Her sound, which she describes as immersive indie-folk, marries “the warmth of an acoustic guitar, the grit on an electric guitar and the rhythm of a heavy drum.” But there’s more to it than just the music. As an American-Palestinian artist, she brings a unique cultural perspective to her storytelling, weaving themes of identity and belonging into her work.
Fans can look forward to more than just the single – clovers daughter has planned a full rollout including a lyric video, music video, and live acoustic performance. Shes also plans to hint at future projects through clever Easter eggs via her various social media profiles.
