Clare Easdown - Scopolamine

Scopolamine - Clare Easdown (Pop) It’s a four hit streak on the blog today with returning artist Clare Easdown, who delivers another impactful track with latest “Scopolamine”. Following the avant garde turn of the previous single, Clare returns to a more traditional format with this ballad, while still maintaining the elevated poetic lyrics that rise above the standard pop fare that we’ve come to expect from Clare. Despite the more classic structure, Clare continues to surprise with her musical choices, giving surprising moments of close harmonies at just the right point to cut the core on the more painful words, specifically “brutally”. Add the cavernous verb and the steady, yet understated beat of the drum, and we can clearly envision this one as the “last song” at the school dance.

Best Lyric: “I’m brutally in love with you.”
