Ukulena – Only Daddy Calls Me Marley

Released in the summer of 2024, Only Daddy Calls Me Marley marks Ukulena’s triumphant return with her second full-length album—a sixteen-track sonic journey that’s as timeless as it is personal. Five years in the making, the album began before the world changed and was lovingly completed through the challenges of the COVID era. The result is a deeply inspired and spiritually charged body of work that reflects Ukulena’s growth as an artist and as a woman.

Rooted in vintage sensibilities with a fresh pop approach, the album weaves together reggae rhythms, tiki soul, and retro rock ’n roll—hallmarks of Ukulena’s unique sound. The record features standout collaborations with musical legends and dear friends, including Monkey (lead singer of punk icons The Adicts), Australian artist Henry Wagons, and the beloved SoCal surf-tiki band The Hula Girls.

With Only Daddy Calls Me Marley, Ukulena delivers more than just music—she shares a piece of her story, her dreams, and her enduring passion for connecting through art. It’s a record built to last, perfect for sun-drenched drives, late-night reflections, and everything in between. Give it a listen—you’ll feel it in your bones.
