Clara Pople - 'Last Dance'
Singer-songwriter Clara Pople enchants us with latest single ‘Last Dance’. Blending together sounds suitable for fans of Massive Attack and London Grammar.
Ethereal and magical in all the right places. A delightful listening experience from start to finish. ‘Last Dance’ takes you on a folktale style journey, with lifts and turns while keeping it’s delicate nature intact.
‘Last Dance’ see’s Clara continue to use her voice as both her instrument and her accompaniment to striking effect. For this single, she created a whole choir, dark bass lines, syncopated beatboxing rhythms and 6-part harmonies all from her own voice. She manipulates classical technique, gospel, and Bristol trip-hop music to create darkly poetic, unique and original sounds.
Clara said “Last dance is about that desperation to have your loved ones close. It's about that moment when there’s a possibility that this person could be about to slip away from you – the sheer panic that overcomes you and the overwhelming feeling of needing them to stay. As I wrote the track, I imagined a couple dancing to a waltz the perfect image to symbolise the power of combined love.”
