A severely underrated legend and lyrical genius. She also is a visual artist and mother - so she can basically do it all and I find this very inspiring. Her storytelling is unmatched. My favorite album of hers is Alas I Cannot Swim (which I’ve linked), however she has quite a bit of really great music to check out. Her upcoming album, Patterns in Repeat, comes out in October.
From her random off the cuff ”I wrote this last night” songs That have some of the most devastating lyrics I’ve ever heard to her poetry and her sub stack she’s the coolest and I can’t believe someone can be this good at everything
I’m late to the party on this one but Clarissa is phenomenal. Kind of a combo of Kate bush, enya and sally oldfield but with a secret new ingredient (being Scottish? who knows).
