Not Ready To Die - Clare Easdown (Dream Pop) Today we’re treated to the latest from Clare Easdown, an artist frequently featured on this blog, with her most avant-garde track we have reviewed to date. In “Not Ready To Die”, Clare brings her new wave sensibilities to a meditative chant that proclaims she is not ready to give up, yet still immersed in melancholy. Though we’ve said it before, the timbre and tone of Clare’s voice reminds us a lot of Mel C, and in this track Clare is at the peak of vulnerability—her voice a fragile soprano floating above the fray and swirling in the reverb. As with the other tracks from Clare we have had the fortune to review, “Not Ready To Die” is another track that is poetry to music.

Best Lyric: “Although the end is in sight, I’m holding on tight.”
