Someone might point out that it’s easy to write a great record when you are a talented musician, a visionary producer and an electrifying performer. Perhaps it is; that said, reaching that point is the hard part. Natalie Claro is the perfect evidence of it. A gifted artist and creative, the American songstress and musician has been pursuing music her whole life, eventually affirming herself as a boundary-pushing, alternative figure, fiercely pursuing her own path in an over-standardised world.
‘Spiders’ is Claro’s latest effort, a slice of evocative pop-rock drenched in emo influences and melancholic lyricism. Staying authentic to Natalie’s gothic-flavoured, theatrical persona, the single is a stark reminder of how artists can use daily experiences to build a compelling narrative. Witnessing someone carelessly step on a beetle, Claro focuses on the way the world often tramples on the most vulnerable and the less fortunate. It’s a prominent message, especially in an increasingly gloomy and unequal global landscape.
As the Los Angeles-based talent explains: “I was outside with someone who walked up to a beetle just to step on it. It wasn’t about the bug—it was about the act. That exertion of power over something helpless stuck with me.” Overall, another impressive offering by Natalie Claro. It won’t be long till she blooms into international glory.
