Independent LA-based musician Tess Clare came across our radars today, and we have to say, we’re really impressed with this talent’s natural flair for songwriting.
New single ‘Never Be a Boy’ is a masterclass in pop. The melody is memorable, the vocals are distinct, and the lyrics are beautifully honest.
The track was inspired by the artist’s self-discovery of her sexuality, and the complex thoughts she felt about her best friend during her teens.
“The song captures the essence of innocence, portraying typical childhood experiences like sleepovers and parties with the intrusion of deeper, unspoken desires. Looking back, it wasn’t just sleepovers and making hypothetical best friend plans about their future, but also intrusive thoughts about a world where maybe they could actually be together.”
To date, Clare’s music has amassed more than 800k streams on Spotify alone. We think this artist has a very bright future ahead!
