Clare Easdown’s latest release, “Scopolamine,” conveys love, longing, and pain through graceful melodies and soulful vocals, which offer a feel of disease and cure together. You get to experience the depths of a shattered heart while being soothed and solaced.
“Scopolamine” is both foggy and dreamy. It’s a mix of pain and peace presented by the haunting vocals of the talented Australian artist Clare Easdown and her raw self-production. Clare’s silky vocal line is the focal point of the song. She offers an emotional performance that carries the pain and longing in every lyric.
Easdown’s description of the song is melancholic and heartfelt, yet she managed to deliver her heartbreaking storyline delicately and smoothly, making the song sound like a tranquil lullaby that you’d want to play to calm yourself, and that’s such a brilliant balance.
“Scopolamine” is a love song gone wrong, with a brutal, painful longing rippling throughout its core. It is open heart surgery, expressing the notion that love is deeper than an abyss and can be as painful as falling into one too.” Stated Clare Easdown.
“I’m brutally brutally in love with you” will keep resonating in your head, giving chills to your heart. It’s just not possible to resist her wistful angelic tone along with the blue waves of mellow melody. The atmospheric guitar riffs and gentle drumming create a charming soundscape that backs up the vocals as desired. It’s a raw, charming harmony between the vocals and the instrumentation.
Not only are the song’s elements splendid and portray the theme but also the title itself. “Scopolamine” in the anticholinergic class of drugs, and Clare wrote and sang the lyric “You’re my drug of choice.” She clearly didn’t leave a single detail behind.
This is a song that conveys ache through lighthearted Indie/dream-pop fusion and ethereal vocals, so it’s the drug dose of melancholy that you’ll get addicted to.
