Clara Pople delves deep into the mystical power of the divine feminine with her latest single, “Hot Moon”, a brooding and ethereal masterpiece. Following the success of her previous singles “Wednesday” and “Poison”, “Hot Moon” offers an atmospheric exploration of lunar cycles, femininity, and the chaotic energy that often accompanies the full moon.
Built around Clara’s signature live-looped vocals, the track creates a dreamy yet unsettling soundscape with dark basslines, rhythmic beatboxing, and subtle harmonies. The unconventional time signature adds to the sense of unease, reflecting the cyclical and unpredictable nature of the moon’s influence. Clara’s choice of stripped-back yet powerful production allows her evocative voice to take center stage, imbuing the song with both vulnerability and strength.
Speaking about the inspiration behind “Hot Moon”, Clara shares, “It’s an empowerment anthem for anyone who feels overpowered by nature’s forces. The song is about the ebb and flow of life, especially for women, and how sometimes we have to surrender to that force and let the madness take over.” This track taps into Clara’s connection to nature, a theme woven throughout her music and personal philosophy, rooted in her upbringing in South Cumbria.
Clara’s creative vision extends far beyond her music. Her unique Boat Gigs, hosted aboard her houseboat in London, have become an underground sensation. These monthly events, where Clara curates a lineup of emerging artists, offer a rare and intimate space for musicians to perform without the pressure of self-promotion. The Boat Gigs have quickly grown in popularity, selling out each time, and providing a welcoming environment for both artists and audiences alike. With their BYOB policy and communal atmosphere, these events strip away the commercial trappings of traditional venues, allowing the music to shine through.
Clara Pople’s star continues to rise, glowing with the same magnetic energy as the “Hot Moon” she sings of.
