There’s a quiet magic to Carla Aakre's "watercolour" - a softness that lingers, like hearing a close friend share a story just for you. I’ve always been drawn to music that’s understated and sincere, and this song feels exactly like that, a delicate yet deeply affecting piece.
What I love most is the simplicity in the production, which allows Clara’s vocals to take center stage. Her voice carries an effortless vulnerability, balancing fragility with moments of subtle strength and unpretentious charm. The lyrics, which reflect on how friendships can reveal beauty in even the hardest moments, really hit home for me. It’s not trying to be grand or over-the-top, which is what makes it so relatable. The lo-fi recording gives the track a warm, almost tactile feel, like it was meant to be shared in the cozy spaces of everyday life.
"watercolour" is such a promising start for Clara Aakre - it's intimate, heartfelt, and leaves me excited for what’s to come.
