After years keeping time behind the kit as the drummer for powerhouse Led Zeppelin tribute Zepparella, Clementine Moss is now striking a softer, more vulnerable chord—one that resonates straight from the heart. With her debut solo album, Clem & Clearlight (out May 30), Moss steps into the center of the frame, crafting a deeply soulful, genre-defying collection that prioritizes emotion over spectacle and spirit over speed.

Clem & Clearlight is a meditation in motion. At its core, it’s an exploration of intimacy—emotional, spiritual, and musical. The record trades rock’s thunder for quiet storms, ambient textures, and songwriting that feels like a whisper into the listener’s ear. Through stripped-down arrangements and poetic lyrics, Moss invites us into her interior world, where moments are suspended in time and vulnerability is treated as a superpower.

The album’s lead single, “Hey Sweetheart,” is a perfect example. Co-written with Italian guitar virtuoso Daniele Gottardo and Jimi Marks of the John Brothers Piano Company, the track unfolds with cinematic patience. Moss’s voice is breathy and direct, capturing the unguarded sincerity of a late-night conversation. It’s not about theatrics—it’s about telling the truth, softly and fully.

Across the album, Moss proves she’s not just a musician, but a seeker—one unafraid to sit in silence, stretch time, and let emotional clarity dictate tempo. With contributors like Gottardo and Marks, along with bassist Robert Preston, the album becomes more than a personal statement—it’s a communion. The musicianship is impeccable, but never showy; every note serves the feeling.

In a musical landscape that often favors immediacy and volume, Clem & Clearlight is refreshingly patient. It doesn’t clamor for attention—it holds it, gently. For fans of artists like Cat Power, Talk Talk, or early Norah Jones, Clementine Moss offers a quiet reckoning and a bold reintroduction.
