Claire Brooks - GO(RILLA) (Single)
Today, Los-Angeles born multifaceted creative Claire Brooks returns with her brand new single ‘GO(RILLA)’. Blending psychedelic indie-pop with R&B vocals and rap, all infused with a jazzy flair, Claire's latest offering is a sonic experience like no other. Punchy, atmospheric, and grungy, Claire has crafted a track that is as slick as it is unique. Dive into 'GO(RILLA)' and experience the cutting-edge sound of an artist on the rise.
Speaking on the release, Brooks shares; ‘GO(RILLA) is about me realizing that no one cares for anyone but themselves. It’s me against the world… and that makes the world so much more FUN!! :D’
‘GO(RILLA)’ begins with the delicate, twinkling notes of a piano before transitioning into a smooth emotive flow. Claire's clever wordplay and confident delivery elevate her sound, adding a distinct edge to her musical identity.
Today’s release comes off the back of Brooks’ recent two part project ‘Hibernation’, which featured two equally captivating tracks that showcased the rich depth of her vocal tone, but to two varying musical styles. The flow of instrumentation moving from ‘Slowly Towards The Door’ to ‘Hibernation’ evolved to take on a new character and showcased Brooks’ broad sense of musicality. Notably, ‘Slowly Towards The Door’ was featured on the Spotify Editorial Playlist Fresh Finds & ‘Hibernation’ on All New Indie, and The Line Of Best Fit’s New Music Discovery Playlist.
CLAIRE BROOKS was born in Los Angeles into a family of artists. A rattle was swiftly replaced with her mom’s paint brushes, and her dad made up elaborate original stories for her and her brother every night before bed.
Brooks cycled through a range of interests throughout her childhood; drawing in notebooks, on textbooks, on sidewalks and on all of her shoes. She showed up to grade school sporting t-shirts and dresses personally designed and hand-sewn, often paired with a plasticine grapefruit slice hanging around her neck. She has been singing and writing music for as long as she can remember.
As she grew older, she became obsessed with patterns; making them, breaking them, on all spectrums and planes. She found that she loved math-- beautiful proofs, symmetry within fractals, and the rush of excitement when she finally discovered the solution to a problem. She also has a tangential affinity for numbers, and memorizing them all-- license plates, phone numbers, unit conversions. And then, of course, there’s music, math’s sexier cousin. She writes music as she sees it, the shapes of melodies and the personality of a chord, along with the colors of the numbers as they appear in her head.
Brooks just graduated from Stanford University with a B.S in Mechanical Engineering. She’s a multi-instrumentalist, a burgeoning producer and is currently working on mastering and releasing her first EP. Her cult following of listeners appreciate the hypnotic, genre-bending compositions they hear through her snippets, private demos and few public releases.
