Setting the scene with a bouncy electronic pop soundscape, Clifford opens his latest single Close To Me with the lyrics, “no more, I can’t feel my legs no more, I can’t feel my mind no more…”
The rising artist begins to tell us the story of a unique and hypnotizing personal encounter as he lures us in with the hook of the song, “get close, get close to me…”
Speaking on the track, Clifford says, “Close to Me is a sweet song for bitter times”.
A pop-house hybrid, the production fuses dance beats, a lighter bass and deep kicks. Clifford explains, “It’s a whimsical song about a person making the best out of a world turned bitter, upside down. Sometimes we find sweetness by going to the club, hitting the dance floor, finding similar souls. The mind, body and soul are three energy’s that keep us safe, stable, but it’s the soul that takes over during turmoil.”
This is reflected in his lyrics, “…a place where no one else can see…a place reserved for you and me” as he describes two people floating into a safe space.
