The Anchoress, the stage name of Welsh singer-songwriter Catherine Anne Davies, has released the new single 'I Had a Baby Not A Lobotomy' featuring Gwenno. The track precedes her upcoming album 'As We Once Were', set for release on August 7. Davies described the single as an anthem addressing stereotypes faced by new mothers.
Catherine Anne Davies, performing as The Anchoress and known for her collaborations with Manic Street Preachers, returned with the synth-driven single 'I Had a Baby Not A Lobotomy' on April 13. Featuring vocals from Gwenno, the song confronts clichés and biases encountered after becoming a mother, such as assumptions that she would stop touring or undergo a personality change. Davies told NME: 'Motherhood radicalised me. And I know I’m not alone in this.'
