Her delivery has a visceral intimacy as if she’s singing one-on-one with you, her voice carving out a space for the past and the present to mingle.
The production is just as mesmerizing. A smoky, bluesy groove provides the bass, with subtle modernizing touches keeping the track fresh and dynamic. The instrumentation breathes, giving Clark’s vocal performance space to shine while crafting an immersive, cinematic background.
“HERE” is a feeling, a place, and a moment you never want to leave. With this track, she reaffirms that she is a presence in contemporary-era soul, effortlessly traversing the past and the present with a voice that begs to be heard.
