KLARA has today released the beautifully cinematic ‘Voices’ via The Office Stereo/AWAL. Written in Church Studios and recorded in Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, ‘Voices’ is the latest musical offering lifted from KLARA’s debut album ‘Blossom’, out January 2020.

Co-produced by KLARA and Erland Cooper, ‘Voices’ is a delicately cinematic yet urgent offering. Boasting a songscape of rich guitar tones by Samuel Williams, an enticing rhythm section courtesy of Fabio de Oliveira (George Ezra), subtle cello arrangements by Klara Schumann and additional harmonies from Karina Ramage and Jess Belgrave, the song was written as a result of KLARA’s deep rooted uncertainty and fear for the direction of our political landscape.

“I wrote the lyrics to ‘Voices’ as a reaction to a very dark time in politics”  KLARA says.

“For months I was glued to the news feeling helpless, not being able to do much. I went on a women’s march in Paris and several anti-Brexit marches and anti-Trump marches in London. Brexit had been voted for, Trump had just been elected in America and I was really scared. I felt that there were a lot of loud voices out there that didn’t represent me, that didn’t speak my truth.”

KLARA returned to Dalarna in Sweden to shoot the cover image for ‘Voices’, the same location where she shot her recent videos for ‘Broken’ and ‘I Can’t Speak For You’. Photographer Olof Grind shot the image on a beach by a lake and is the first to be released of a series of images shot by the pair.
