California native Claire Rosinkranz has been writing songs since she was 8. Filling notebooks and iPads with lyrics, turns of phrase, and poems, the homeschooled artist would spend hours writing lyrics to songs that didn't exist yet. Sometimes, she'd help her musician father, Ragnar, with melodies and lyrics for songs he'd been tasked to compose for TV shows and ad jingles. Coming from a family with deep musical roots--her paternal grandmother an Icelandic opera singer who toured Europe, her maternal grandmother making a career out of writing books and songs for children, and parents who had similar melodies running through their blood--Claire was, in every sense of the word, predestined for musical greatness, which is why the overnight success of her recent debut EP comes as no surprise to those who know her best.
Claire traffics in lo-fi songs with intricate yet totally relatable lyrics about friendship, crushes, family, and feelings. They plumb the depths of the human condition in very short bursts, exposing the songwriter's remarkable emotional maturity and strong, singular grasp on her sound. Narratively, tracks like "Tough Guy" and "Seriouslaaay" follow Claire's stories from start to finish while Ragnar's clean, crisp production buoys his daughter's crystal-clear vocals.
