Rising alt-R&B artist Forest Claudette has once again captivated listeners with the release of their dazzling new EP, '& Stone Between'. This three-track collection serves as a testament to Claudette's ever-expanding artistry, featuring the highly anticipated single 'Press On Me', a track that effortlessly blends soul and swagger.
"'Press On Me' was written with Rory Noble in New Zealand," Claudette explains. "Rory's studio is a wonderland of instruments, and we really took advantage of that. I was excited to explore more free-flowing lyrics and rhythms, capturing the overall feeling or energy rather than focusing solely on specific lyrics and a narrative." The result is a track that's both deeply personal and universally relatable, showcasing Claudette's ability to craft songs that resonate on multiple levels.
'& Stone Between' is more than just another release; it's a bold statement from an artist who refuses to be confined by genre boundaries. The EP opens with the poignant single 'Moonlight' and the introspective '2AM', setting the stage for the closing track, 'Press On Me'. Claudette's vocals shine throughout, weaving stories of love, longing, and the complexities of life.
"'& Stone Between' represents the realities of life," Claudette explains. "Just because you're on a journey or figuring out who you are doesn't mean every other aspect of life stops." This sentiment is echoed in the EP's sonic landscape, which seamlessly blends danceable grooves with intimate moments of reflection.
The release of the EP comes hot on the heels of Claudette's announcement of their North American, European, and UK tour dates this September and October. The EP follows on from their beloved four-track Jupiter EP, which featured fan-favourites 'Kobe Beef' and 'Big Wigs', and their critically acclaimed Everything Was Green EP.
With '& Stone Between', Forest Claudette invites listeners to dive deep into a soundscape that's both danceable and intimate, irresistibly captivating. Claudette's vocals glide over lush production, creating a sonic tapestry that's both familiar and refreshingly innovative. The EP is a testament to their ever-evolving artistry and is sure to leave fans old and new hitting repeat.
