The latest effort by Berlin-based Clara Hill attempts to show a different side of her laid back, soulful repertoire: acoustic, folk-based orchestral sounds. While it does not diverge much from her usual blend of R&B-inspired tracks, there is plenty to dive into and discover. Her long-standing relationship with Jazzanova is stamped all over these 10 songs, for better and worse: The scratchy textures and crisp guitar on “Sad Girl” is a great modern throwback, while the lilting orchestra of “Everything” is simply too grandiose and presumptive to make an impact. Fortunately her voice is diverse and interesting enough to create a consistent and refreshing vibe to her new experiment in future folk.
