'Angie' is a record that documents every aspect of Claire's life, from her initial years in Thailand, youthful jaunts in France, and finding home and self-discovery in the sunny climes of Los Angeles. At various points, all of these influences take centre stage, from the effortlessly cool LA-focussed opener 'Pink Lemonade' and the slacker-soul vibe of 'Adore Me', right through to the jazzy-yet-sultry Europop vibes of 'Assis' and 'De Guerre', and the computerised beats of club-pop banger 'By Design'.

Already, you've probably got the idea that there's a lot going on across this record, and you'd be right. Journeying from bouncy dance-driven hyperpop, soul-bearing alt-pop, as well as Calypso and Southern jazz, it's a soundscape that encompasses around 70 years of music, with not one track or sample that sounds out of place.

And experiment she did, bringing in new ideas that she would previously never have considered, speaking to her newfound confidence in her ability as a songwriter, producer, and musician. "Experimental just means something that's new to you; it doesn't have to be some really weird idea that's never been done before. So, for us, it was using trumpets and live strings and then maybe putting it next to a psychedelic element. I didn't put too much pressure on the studio, it was more about finding something that felt fun and that moved everybody in the room."
