Having made quite the impact with her striking Warp debut World of Work, Copenhagen's Clarissa Connelly returns with a mischievous new single. Rooted in whimsy, 'Give it Back' draws inspiration from symphonic fairy tales, using instruments as different characters in a story of her own making. Lighthearted and self-aware, Connelly embodies a nymph-like persona on the single, which contemplates the exchange of love and the act of surrendering yourself to another. She explains: “I’ve always dreamt of a stubborn, determined love so that’s what I am learning to give. I started singing that I wanted to give my heart back to everyone, everything, (and to myself too, actually), and it started to open - just by singing it. This is the transformative ability the song has given me.” A truly unique and special artist, Clarissa Connelly will perform at the ICA on the 20th of November. Get a ticket if you know what's good for you. -Holly Mullineaux
