On her self-titled fourth album, Clark showcases stunning personal narratives alongside blood-and-bone ballads that rise above to survey fresh angles bound by neither convention nor cliche.
I like to give producers the last 18 to 24 songs we whittled down from my catalog... the only song that Brandi didn't choose that I wanted to record was 'Tell You Don't Love Her.'
Clark highlights the importance of songwriting challenges, sharing, 'Whenever I go into a project with any producer, I think of them as the last writer on the songs.'
'Dear Insecurity' (which won the 2023 Grammy for Best Americana Performance) explores her personal struggles, showcasing Clark's heart-on-the-sleeve approach to songwriting.
