Rising vocalist CLAIRE BROOKS drops explosive new offering "MORTAL HIDE"
Blurring the lines between sound and form, the designer-turned-multi-instrumentalist continues to showcase her creative world through spellbinding visual art and disruptive, genre-bending compositions. Connecting universal experiences with raw, conscious commentary and eclecticism, Brooks’ exploration of self-discovery and human connection is deeply rooted in architecture and emotion, sculpting immersive soundscapes that are already attracting serious attention across both sides of the Atlantic. Having just completed her debut EU/UK tour earlier this month with Carpetman - including sold-out shows across London, Berlin, Paris, and more - 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for this electrifying new talent on the rise.

“MORTAL HIDE”
For her latest release, Brooks unleashes “Mortal Hide” - a raw and introspective journey of growth and self-reflection. Bursting with power-charged guitars, choppy drum breaks, and a distorted bassline cutting through the tension, the hypnotic backdrop lays groundwork for Brooks’ controlled and emotive vocals, oscillating between quiet confessions and commanding, full-bodied resonance. “I wear my only sacrifice // Set me free,” she pleads while looking inward, questioning her own existence and the shadowed affinities hiding in the folds of her reality.
After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Brooks marked the first breath of her musical voyage with her debut EP ’The Human Experience’ (listen). Introducing her warm, analogue sound waves that merge experimental pop and alt-R&B sensibilities, the rising talent continued to develop her musical identity while delivering a stream of infectious releases, including her follow-up EP ‘I Will Outlive You’ (listen) in 2024 and her most recent project ‘Mother’ (listen) - laced with themes of intimacy, desire, and nostalgia, illustrated through Brooks’ vivid storytelling and the powerful sonic and visual universes that surround her.
Now sitting on 2.5M+ streams and counting, alongside sold-out performances across Europe this year, Claire Brooks’ unique brand of electric introspection is underlining her as one of North America’s most exciting new prospects crashing into wider consciousness.
