I like Clara La San and I think she has this amazing ability to create *moods*, but there is something I find a bit frustrating about her — which stops me enjoying her music as I want to — and a few months I came to the conclusion that it's her lyrics, which can sometimes be pretty weak and undermine her production, which is really great, and voice, which is maybe not anything special but suits her music perfectly.
Like, this is one of the highlights of Made Mistakes for me, but because of the lyrics that "I can't deny I like it baby" bridge is just really... naff?
Anyway, a couple other standouts from the album for me:
I'm curious how the remake of Good Mourning turns out, as I think that new version of Unplanned that Mistersloane shared is inferior to the original — the new ad libs sit weirdly in the mix and she's dialed back the drama a bit.
