    Weighed down by its own concept and bloated with references, there’s just no room left for emotional reckoning. In the end, we’re better off seeing Daddy's Home as purely an homage to the rich ‘70s funk and psychedelic music scene from somebody who only experienced it secondhand. It’s simply unable to withstand the added complexity of the personal narrative that we were promised.

    We finally found out who Daddy actually is. It's Annie herself, learning to deal with all kinds of situations on her own and taking control,We finally found out who Daddy actually is. It's Annie herself, learning to deal with all kinds of situations on her own and taking control, even when she'd rather probably let someone else deal with those little difficult periods that everyone has in life. Through the animated sound of the seventies she captures her emotions in a completely new manner. Even though some of the songs contain some very introspective themes she's never talked about before, it all comes out very chill and vibey.… Full Review »
