April 11, 2019 Claud – If I Were You

Brooklyn’s Claud (fka Toast) follows up one of the best songs of 2019, with another irresistibly charming “early 2000’s new bop”, full of raw emotion, but with an acute sense of self-awareness that will have you feeling some type way, including a lyric vid inspired by the L Word. Claud says about the track “If I Were You”:

“I’m starting to learn that some people just don’t go well together. There was one particular relationship I had that was a dead end. We were SO wrong for each other and we weren’t treating each other right. “If I Were You” is me looking back way later after everything got resolved and laughing at the person I used to be. I have to remember not to take myself too seriously! I’m growing and learning alongside everyone around me. I brought this concept to Bram Inscore. He’s a producer in LA and turned his garage into a studio. There’s just something really special about creating music in the comfort of yours or someone else’s home. The song became an early 2000s-type bop I didn’t know I needed. The visual element is a fun ode to a show I love called The L Word. The series is really important because it’s a bonding point for a lot of queer people.”
