Cloves Releases New Song "California Numb"

CLOVES, simply, is on a mission to make music to remember. Today she returns with a brand new song, “California Numb,” which combines the earth-shattering vocals and honest verses we’ve come to expect from the 21-year-old London-via Melbourne singer/songwriter. “California Numb” follows “Better Now” as the second song to be announced off her upcoming debut album which will be released on Interscope Records later this year. “California Numb” is available now for digital download and streaming via digital subscription services - http://smarturl.it/CaliforniaNumb.

“California Numb is about catching yourself off guard” explains CLOVES. “It’s about the moment you realize you’re becoming somebody you don’t want to be, the idea of losing yourself in something or someone else you shouldn't be influenced by, and having to claw yourself back.”

Looking ahead to her debut album, CLOVES is putting the finishing touches on what promises to be a bold and ambitious body of work. The album has primarily been written by CLOVES with select key collaborators including Justin Parker (Rihanna, Mikky Ekko, Sia, Lana Del Rey), Starsmith (Ellie Goulding, Clean Bandit, Jess Glynne) and Ariel Rechtshaid (HAIM, Adele, Vampire Weekend, Brandon Flowers).

CLOVES released her debut XIII EP in November 2015 to early praise from the media including The 405, Pigeons & Planes, Noisey, i-D and more. The set showcased her lofty, gripping vocals and honest lyrics and featured the song “Don’t Forget About Me” which was selected for a pivotal spot in the blockbuster film “Me Before You,” and also appeared on the soundtrack, introducing her to new fans worldwide. Since the release of her debut EP CLOVES has hit the road, where she continues to win people over show-by-show.
