Clara’s Debut Music Video for “Parentheses” Showcases a Rising Star’s Unique Blend of Soul and Authenticity

Emerging singer-songwriter Clara, known for her captivating soulful voice and genre-blending sound, has released her highly anticipated debut music video for her latest single, “Parentheses”.
Hailing from Maine, Clara’s musical roots run deep. Surrounded by music from a young age, she drew inspiration from jazz and piano legends like James Booker, Ray Charles, and Fats Waller. As she honed her own style, she incorporated influences from iconic singers such as Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu, Billie Holiday, SZA, and Janis Joplin. The result is a unique sound that fuses elements of jazz, soul, and contemporary pop, creating a rich and emotive musical experience.
Clara’s journey into music took a pivotal turn four years ago when she moved to New York City to fully immerse herself in her passion. Since then, she has become an integral part of the city’s vibrant music scene, writing and releasing five singles that highlight her evolving artistry. Her music is marked by authenticity, capturing raw emotions that resonate deeply with listeners.
In 2019, Clara’s collaboration on the song “Euphoria and Nosebleeds” garnered unexpected success, amassing nearly 1.2 million streams on Spotify. This breakthrough moment propelled her to commit entirely to her music career. Since then, Clara has refined her craft, connecting with fellow artists, accessing studio resources, and performing at renowned venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, The Sultan Room, and Littlefield.
“Parentheses,” Clara’s latest single, represents a significant milestone in her career with the release of her first music video. The song and its accompanying visuals are expected to deliver the depth and intentionality that her fans have come to expect. Clara’s music is a testament to her belief in the power of authenticity and her desire to explore different genres without being confined to one style.
In Clara’s own words, “It’s really important for me to be intentional with each project that I do as it represents me, my life, and my journey as an artist. Self-expression is a gift that’s not lost on me, and I’m always hungry to create more, explore new genres, and continue to grow. I want to stay as authentic as possible, and I think people can tell when someone is being genuine and earnest. Music is something where we can share experiences and find community; it makes us feel less alone. When I make music and express myself, it also helps me feel more connected to the world around me.”
The music video for “Parentheses” is poised to further establish Clara as a dynamic and versatile artist within the music industry. With a growing fanbase and a promising future, Clara is undoubtedly a name to watch as she continues to make her mark on the New York City music scene and beyond. Her dedication to authenticity and genre exploration ensures that her journey will be as compelling as her music.

Naud Takes Flight with ‘Un Gars Bian’: A Wild Ride of Music & Madness

After ten years of musical mischief, Naud has finally dropped anchor, or rather taken flight, with Un Gars Bian, an album that feels like a hug from an old friend and an impromptu dance party all at once. This high-energy, genre-mashing adventure blends alternative pop, electro, funk, and whatever else Naud felt like throwing into the mix. Think Marseille’s “joyous chaos” bottled up into soundwaves, bursting with playful unpredictability.
Leading things off is “Déjà Vu,” a sweet-and-sour love song about a romance that spanned across Europe but never quite took off, kind of like booking a first-class ticket to heartbreak. It’s got just the right mix of experimental vibes and catchy pop magic to make you groove while overthinking your past relationships.
The album title, Un Gars Bian, is a cheeky play on words, merging Marseille (city in France) slang for “seagull” (gabian) with “un gars bien” (a nice guy). It’s basically Naud in a nutshell: a free-spirited, big-hearted artist who wants to spread good vibes, reckless creativity, and a touch of joyful madness. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s also launched an Un Gars Bian t-shirt line, because what’s better than wearing your philosophy on your sleeve, literally? Grab yours here!
So, are you ready to embrace the joyful chaos? Un Gars Bian is the perfect excuse to dance like nobody’s watching and live life with a little more mischief. Let’s gooo!
