Poptastic Confessions!: Alright by Clara Mae featuring Russell Dickerson + new album from Clara Mae called Drunk On Emotions

Dear Poptastic Readers

We hope you had a lovely long weekend. We've got a treat for you! The Queen of Broken Hearts, Swedish artist Clara Mae has a new album out called Drunk On Emotions and the latest single is the first track. So consider this a feature of the new single, and an album review to boot! Woo!

The latest single "Alright" is a duet with US country artist named Russell Dickerson. The song has a lovely melody and a great chorus. Is it country? No, not really. But it could easily fit in on contemporary country pop playlists. It was written by Clara, Alexander Krashinsky, Calle Lehmann, and Cassandra Ströberg. It was produced by Blueysport and Mugisho. Check out the music video ...

"Unmiss You" is up next on the album. Clara released this emotional pop song in November of last year. It was such an amazing chorus. We love it. Even though it came out late in the year last year, it still managed to come in at #18 in our Top 100 Songs of 2019. Check out the animated lyric video ...

"Overused" (featuring gnash) was released back in the beginning of the summer. We bought it on iTunes and we swear we wrote a review for it ... however, it appears that we didn't. D'oh! Sorry about that. "Overused" is a duet with gnash and they sing the verses together until they get to the chorus before they split before joining again. It was written by Clara, gnash, Cassandra Ströberg, and Daniel Weber. It was produced by Pontus Persson. It's a lovely song, so check it out the music here ...

The last song on the album is "Not OK" and it is the only song so far that has not been released as a single. It is another heartbreaking ballad, but this time with some beats. Have a listen ...
