Taste Test: CLARA-NOVA finally feels ‘Free’
Alt-pop purveyor finally breaks free from a record deal and celebrates freedom on her new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
When a weight lifts from your shoulders, the lingering effects barrel and scrape as a trolley down its tracks. The emancipation of you can never be overstated; in fact, the freedom brushing and tickling your skin provokes a shockwave right down your spine into your skeletal system. Alt-pop in every sense, often fueling with fuzzy-headed guitars and mesmeric static, CLARA-NOVA (real name Sydney Wayser) lets herself feel the new-found whimsy down the highway with her new single “Free,” written in the aftermath of her release from a bone-crushing record deal. “Pulled a card from the deck / You had me hanging by the neck,” she sings. She draws the details out in gruesome poetry, tapping the cork of what it truly felt like to endure such mental violence and the eventual liberation.
“Free” is Wayser’s first piece of music since before her record deal.
