NEW ALBUM "POOL" NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDERhttps://caroline.lnk.to/PoolsHi, I wanted to let you know how thrilled I am to be announcing the forthcoming release of my solo album "Pool". These songs are a celebration of a joyous period in my life that feels like it has been a long time coming. I almost can't believe I am here and ready to start sharing new music with you! This is the most important and exciting time of my life. When I started putting together a list of the songs I had been working on over the past year to work out which tracks were going to make the final cut I decided I wanted to lay the album out a bit like an early Beyonce record with a little taste of everything that was going down in the studio and my world; there is shiny pop, urban vibes, Pharrell-y disco, club tracks, DJ-Mustardy beats, R'n'B slow jams and, of course, epic heartbreak ballads. The album is reflective not only of my recent life experiences but also of all the different music styles and artists I have been listening to and feeling these past few years. In a way, this album is a rebirth for me personally because at the beginning of creating these songs I asked myself lots of deep questions - who am I? what do I want to say? For a long time I struggled to solidify my true voice and the essence of my being so it was important to me this time around to be truly authentic with the music I was creating. I felt like part of my true voice had been tainted by fear over the years. I relied on enacting various on-stage ?characters" to be able to perform and I also felt like I was caught up in the responsibility of saying yes to the vision and plans of everyone around me. I began to wonder how I could become an autonomous artist with a definitive and strong voice when it felt like there was so much noise around me, no one agreeing with anyone and me telling myself I needed to please everyone else over myself. The only way for me to make peace with that loud questioning voice in my head was to overcome all my fears, anxieties and insecurities and say to hell with everyone's expectations of what I should sound like and what I should look like, and just go ahead make an album for me by me. An album I am proud of because it's my own vision and one that I know I will listen to and love for a very long time. Cheesy as it may sound "Pool" is like a butterfly breaking free from its chrysalis, me challenging my self doubt and celebrating the fact that, yes, I can make my own album the way I want to and can explore many different styles of music and not be held back by other people's expectations. Lots of the songs on this album feel like they have been a part of me for a long time. They were just waiting patiently beneath the surface ready to be set free. This is a huge moment for me, getting my musical direction inline with my true self, doing something on my own, changing the course of career and hoping that all of you will listen and stay with me. I hope you will join me on this new path and I can not thank you enough for your support and friendship over the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Lots of love, Clairy....xo
