Montreal based singer-songwriter Claire Ridgely has finally released her kaleidoscopic-centric debut EP “Flowers for a Friend“. It features five songs full of standouts like fan favourite, “Take The Pain”.
Claire’s EP is an intimate array of refreshing pop anthems that enlists Clay and Friends, wordsbyjuni, and Oscar Louis for collaborative production uniqueness. Claire’s project balances raw emotions, reflections and polished sounds that showcases deeply honest anecdotes with effortless grace.
Each song on Claire’s Flowers for a Friend is a combination of raw storytelling and pure emotion: “I put my heart and my soul into this EP,” Claire reveals. “Through each of the songs, I’ve been able to find peace and come to terms with, and heal from certain things, certain stories in my life that I have held onto.”
So, this EP is essentially used as a platform for Claire to release per se. A way of letting go. And this EP can could held a friend in need as much as it has helped her.
“I hope it can help other people heal and realize that even though the story behind the song might be painful, the fact that all of these songs are coupled with a happier beat, it can provide a way to heal and dance to something that was once traumatic and heavy.”
