Today, we are happy to announce that Chris Clute, Vancouver’s rising alternative/pop and rock artist, has premiered “Body” with our dear friends at DROPOUT ENTERTAINMENT. During this year he released “Escape”, a song spotlighting the manic emotions behind mental health and substance abuse. And very similar to his prior heartfelt release, dedicated to his missing friend, “Vince’s Song”. Clute’s songwriting has been known to reflect a variety of perspectives and tapping into others’ point of view. His style of writing began to develop through co-writes and producing with others, such as his close friends, Sound of Kalima. In his forthcoming release, “Body” invites Clute’s listeners into his own thoughts and explores his past relationships.
Clute wrote and produced “Body” in one late session. He states, “It started with the chorus. I loved the idea of changing the meaning of the word body with the words before and after it and playing around with that. We then started laying down instruments and filling in spaces. The thing I love most about this song is how the instruments and vocals trade space. Each taking their turn to come up to the surface and say their piece and then retreating to the background to let the other voices in the song be heard.”
The track seeks out answers that most, lovers, wish to uncover during their lifetime. The feelings of unknowns and what if’s, which have been brought by our past relationships. Clute opens up “Body” with the line “Would you pick up if I called you?” It’s one of those questions that dances in heads, but too afraid to confront it on the surface. Clute explains his message behind the track, “We all ponder what life would be like if X never happened, or if I was still together with this person, what would life be like? This got me thinking about myself and my past relationships. A stint of limited social interaction can make you feel very lonely and desperate. Body encompasses these thoughts I was having and makes me feel like it’s okay to feel these things. It’s normal to be going through this and there’s nothing “wrong” with me (well not with my personality at least).” Body is for that lonely person who thinks they’re in need of someone.” The unapologetic track is also a reminder that we are not alone and with time things will get better.
“Body” will be accompanied by 11 promising tracks on Clute’s debut album Homesick Holiday out on October 12, 2021. In the meantime, he’s currently paving his way towards his BIG release with a few more singles to come before Fall.
