Blind Man's Daughter offers up a rousing anthem that serves as both a call for empathy and a lesson in emotional pop rock. "Only Human" bursts with energy from the outset, and that energy is alive and present. As the rhythm locks into a simmering groove, Wolfe's rousing voice, which spans a few octaves, grabs you with a poignant mix of vulnerability and defiance. It's more than catchy music; it is a journey, emotional and enhanced by soaring vocals and thoughtful songwriting.
Disturbingly poetic lyrics from Wolfe underscore these themes: justice, identity, compassion, and the universal longing to be understood. The verses boil with soul-bearing sentiment, but when the chorus hits, it's with cleansing force; her voice soars in search of the rafters, delivering a statement that cannot be ignored. It is that sort of chorus that makes you put down whatever you're doing and feel.
But beneath the craft exists something more profound. "Only Human" becomes a lifeline for the tired and unseen, a testament to the fact that when it comes to healing ourselves or alleviating others' suffering, it's our shared humanity that matters. "Hate stops with kindness," Wolfe declares, and that mission statement plays out across every note of this track. It's the kind of song that doesn't just fill out the playlist; it fills a void.
As she prepares for her forthcoming album, Wolfe is setting a course with music that is as socially conscious as it is sonically lush. This is not just background noise, but a message wrapped in a melody, and it comes at a time when we could use it more than ever. Whether you've ever felt voiceless, unworthy, or just human, _Blind Man's Daughter has made a place for you to stay. "Only Human" is more than just a song, but a spark. And Ashley Wolfe is that kind of artist who makes sparks into wildfires.
