Natalie Roth ? The Musical Voice Of The Child In Divorce?

Posted by Elite Internet Technologies on September 28th, 2015

Not many people can even talk about divorce without thinking about the collateral damage of divorce as it applies to children. It’s pretty grim picture, and the issues are very deep and sometimes painful. For a singer songwriter to approach this subject takes a certain amount of artistic courage, sensitivity, and perception.

Natalie Roth is a Los Angeles artist, with a strong track record in movies and a definite knack for production. As a singer songwriter, she’s an unusual mix of purely individual style and a slightly unnerving ability to deal with her subject matter. Her song Daddy, written with top level Israeli singer songwriter Avi Toledano redefines Emo music in more ways than one.

Family separationas a subject for a song is hardly a stroll in the park. Roth, very much to her credit, took up this subject in most uncompromising manner, produced a very interesting and rather moving video – And then put herself in the background as a player in the video.

Artistically, it must be said that this approach is particularly effective. Rather than the usual single point of focus for a video, the viewer is drawn directly into the song and the issues the song is about. It’s a virtual How To manual for making better pop videos, as well as an extraordinarily effective song.

Just briefly, let’s consider the issues in this song. Anyone who knows anything about divorce will be well aware of the often very damaging fallout effects of divorce on children. How do you express these issues from a child’s perspective? How do you deliver an effective message? How do you, as a singer songwriter, act as an advocate for children in divorce?

The short answer is that you do it like this. Roth has definitely managed to evoke a remarkable authenticity, tough and uncompromising, in this song. Could it be that the voice of children in divorce is finally going to be heard? If so, it will be through songs like this and the deep sensitivity in expression the song achieves.
