This week, Ethel Cain’s (photo) album Preacher’s Daughter reached the no. 10 spot on the Billboard 200 chart — a huge milestone for the transgender artist.

Ethel Cain is the stage name of Hayden Silas Anhedönia, an American singer-songwriter, artist, and producer who’s really carved out a unique space in the music world. She first gained attention around 2019-2020 with some dreamy, haunting releases on platforms like SoundCloud, but her debut album, Preacher’s Daughter (2022), is what really made people stop and take notice.

Her music blends elements of ambient pop, Americana, slowcore, dream pop, and gothic influences, often telling deeply personal, cinematic, and sometimes chilling stories.
