As huge fans of Clare Easdown, having regularly featured her artistry, we were intrigued to say the least when we heard that the star had created a track called NOT READY TO DIE using Grimes‘ vocal stems from her song, Violence.
We have often compared Clare Easdown‘s sound to that of Grimes, so we had a feeling that this was going to be an iconic release. Setting the tone with astral vocal detailing and a textured beat created in collaboration with Artificial Intelligence, Clare opens NOT READY TO DIE with depth and a message as she sings, “I, I’m not ready to die, although the end is in sight, I’m holding on tight, hoping that you just might… Open your eyes.”
Speaking on the intention of the opus, Clare says, “If planet Earth were to write [and] produce you a song right now, this would be it.” The star continues, “NOT READY TO DIE is a desperate cry out for help, a plea for radical change to be made to save life as we know it today.”
With reference to her creative process, Clare confesses, “In this track I have stripped vocals from Violence by Grimes and modified the pitch and tempo. I have then repeated them throughout and on – top of an AI generated track and added a layer of my own vocals to it all.”
She adds with wisdom and urgency, “Climate change is a hot topic at the moment and so it should be. If we do not address the current climate crisis we are all quite literally burnt toast.”
We love the message that Clare Easdown is sharing, and concur that it is time for us all to take action – less fossil fuels, a plant-based future, and a will to change, which is what Clare is inspiring with her visionary creation!
