Claudia Valentina’s new track, “When I’m High,” delivers an unapologetically unfiltered journey through the enticing wreckage of destruction. Released through Electric Feel, this track cements her identity as an artist willing to lay it all out, flaws, emotions, and consequences included.
The song is an unapologetic plunge into the push-and-pull of knowing better and doing it anyway. Claudia sings about the chaos and embodies it. The lyrics are unapologetically self-aware, almost like a dialogue between her and herself, copping to every misstep while reveling in the thrill of the ride. It’s a balancing act of freedom and self-sabotage, a paradox encased in her distinctively raw but genre-fluid sound.
The music video that comes along with it only heightens that experience. Filmed in jittery VHS-style visuals, it’s a fever dream of late-night highs and sobering morning afters. Claudia invites you into her world, in which feelings are shouts, the facts are mercurial, and every decision, even the fateful ones, is deliberate. It’s relatable, as though she is voicing thoughts we sometimes try to deny.
“When I’m High” is another fearless push toward Claudia’s forthcoming EP, following “Diamonds On My Teeth.” If this track is any indication, listeners should expect a project that doesn’t simply flirt with vulnerability but fully embraces it.
