With upcoming debut album Rift out March 7th via state51, London-based multi-disciplinary artist Clara Mann is sharing her beautiful new single “Remember Me (Train Song)“. Mann also recently announced a run of UK headline shows in Bristol, London, Manchester & Edinburgh.
On the new track, Mann said “‘Remember Me (Train Song)’ is about memory and absence. It’s made up of people who are now out of sight, in whatever way, and how, when you lose something, or someone treasured, you live in relation to the space they leave, long after they’re gone.”
There is a rift in the landscape, a rupture in the fabric of the sky. The distant silhouette of the city disintegrates as the ground begins to shudder and shake beneath your feet, splitting open to reveal a place that’s always been there—it just took your entire world collapsing for you to discover it.
Singer-songwriter Clara Mann’s upcoming evocative debut album navigates the fractured environment of the in-between—those liminal spaces exposed between light and dark, growth and remorse, loss and reclamation. It is a record that makes a strong case for hope, those luminescent silver linings in the dark.
Influenced by artists like Jacques Brel, Edith Piaf, Judee Sill, and Tom Waits, Mann has a deep love and care for songwriting. Her lyrics are vivid and visceral, and her approach to songwriting is not one of purging emotions but rather of composting them—digesting life’s experiences and cultivating them into something meaningful, tangible, hopeful. She is also a talented visual artist, and this often plays an integral role in her songwriting process. Using the intricate and sweeping motion of illustrating with ink, charcoal, and sometimes watercolour, she can evoke thoughts and poetry onto the page, offering a way of making sense of things and to communicate in a way that words alone cannot.
