Boorloo/Perth artist Clare Perrott has captured my heart with her gorgeous debut single “Philadelphia.” Listening to her confident dulcet vocal tones, I can’t believe this is our first taste of her music. She’s a natural storyteller who I’m sure we’ll hear a lot more from in the future.
This song tells the story of losing someone as they move on to the next chapter of their life. There’s an acknowledgement that the distance will irrevocably change the connection, no matter how hard they try to maintain it.
Clare will launch “Philadelphia” at Clancy’s Fish Pub in Walyalup/Fremantle on July 6. If you’re local, you’re going to want to be there so you can tell everyone you knew about her music first.
