Clare’s bounding adult contemporary pop has returned from a brief sojourn into synth-fuelled electro to a more organic sound. Thin Skin, the first single from the portentously titled album The Winter I Chose Happiness, is a hearty assemblage of skittering drums and booming claps, with Clare’s voice a constant swoon, sailing in between. It’s a lovely warm sound but wordy and sanctimonious, as... Read More

And what do you do? I'm a musician who loves writing songs with an Aussie flavour performing them with my trusty guitar (called The Pope). When did you start doing that? Around 10 years ago (with a few stops in there to have children).   Why did you start doing that?   'Cause I discovered that I could and then realised I really enjoyed it and now I just have to do it to feel like I'...

  How would you describe your music? Well this next album, the way that I’ve envisioned it, it’s like a 60s cult vibe. Like all the 60s guitars with the desperado guitar sounds. I feel like I’m going back to all the stuff that I loved when I was growing up, like Immaculate Collection. Every song has its own feel. There’s one that’s slightly punky and there... Read More
