Clara Thadea is about the most independent an independent artist can get. She writes, plays, produces, mixes and masters everything by herself, and sometimes with the help of close friends. Once that is done, any visuals will also be DIY. Her live band is made up of Thomas Dunk on drums, Sara Madaluni on keys, and Sam Clarke on bass, and they add some live excitement to her production that are in the genre of indie/alternative/very very chill pop. The unique thing to listen for in her act is her way of singing in a jazzy and almost middle eastern way. The main goal of the music (besides being good) is to make listeners feel for which there is no word yet, some mix between nostalgia and confusion. During the live act, it is a lot more cheerful than her lyrics plan for it to be, and these are always filled with metaphors and imagery which have a deeper and more poetic meaning than most other ‘pop’.
