Claudio says she's received "nothing but positive feedback" since releasing About Time in in October. It’s only a matter of time until everyone else follows suit. In addition to her loyal online fanbase, Claudio’s fellow breakout stars like Khalid, Daniel Casear, and 6lack, whom she’s opening for in her first-ever tour, are already giving her praise. The result is an alluring fusion of sounds. "When I find people who are musically influenced by that, we kind of just feed off of each other," she adds. But her cool, sultry vibe is intriguingly nonchalant, and it it permeates her sound, visuals and fashion sense.Ĭlaudio’s breathy vocals and tingly riffs are a perfect match for the soulful groove of her laid-back beats, and shine in hits like “Confidently Lost,” “Unravel Me” and “Belong to You.” It's obvious she listened to R&B growing up (she listening to Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child, Usher, T-Pain and her dad's old-school favorites), but she also notes jazz and Bossa Nova as musical influences, which are obvious on songs like “Wait” and “Used To.” Her exposure to Latin music in Miami, like salsa and merengue, impacted her, too. So laziness is out of the question when it comes to her work ethic. “I work on my own music every day,” Claudio says in our interview. She officially released her debut EP, Confidently Lost, this March and followed up with a sophomore project, About Time, last month after crafting it for over a year. Two and a half years ago, she moved from her native Miami to Los Angeles to work on music full-time. The 21-year-old and self-dubbed "go-getter" started posting YouTube covers at age 14 to kickstart her singing career after her pursuits in dance and modeling fell flat.

As satisfying as this new project is in its own right, it also builds anticipation for what Claudio will do next.“Lazy, sexy, comfort” is how Sabrina Claudio sums up her personal style, which is characterized by slip dresses, bodycon silhouettes, plunging necklines, nude colors and soft textures but she could almost describe her music the same way-the chilled-out melodies, sensual lyrics, relaxing sounds and all.Įxcept, there’s nothing “lazy” about Claudio’s approach to music. “Truth Is” is a bittersweet culmination of the classic Claudio sound and style, yet it signals the advent of a darker, more experimental approach for the artist. As she continues to gain more momentum in the mainstream music world, these songs may be the last ones that reflect the sound she introduced to us on her first EP “Confidently Lost.” It’s clear from the lyrical content and style of several of the songs that Claudio is ready to take more risks as an artist and it wouldn’t be surprising if her next project is something completely different. At the end of the tracklist is a bonus Spanish version of the title track, a nod to Claudio’s Puerto Rican and Cuban heritage.Īlthough the album is low on stand-alone singles with high potential to grab the attention of new listeners (think “Belong to You” from 2017’s “About Time”) it will appeal to fans of Claudio by delivering some of her highest-quality songs in a single package. The two musicians’ voices complement each other extremely well and I expect the track will be one of the most popular off the album. “On My Shoulders” is a bitter, haunting cry of anguish as Claudio reflects on the unhealthy power dynamics of a relationship, with disturbing visual imagery in lyrics like, “I f only I could slice my skin, try to align my fingerprints, I’d know exactly what it is you feel.”Ĭlaudio does not typically have many guest appearances on her albums, but “Truth Is” contains one exception in “Rumors,” featuring fellow artist ZAYN. Stand out songs on the album include “Me In Her” and previously released singles “Holding the Gun” and “On My Shoulders.” “Me in Her,” in particular, has a much more confrontational tone than most of Sabrina’s music, which makes it one of the most memorable tracks. It is apparent from this album that Claudio has solidified her smooth style, but it also hints at an upcoming shift in her approach to music. Romance has been the primary topic of the artist’s last two albums, but her latest project examines the darker connotations of love and the harmful effects it can have on the human psyche. Sabrina Claudio’s new album “Truth Is” paints a picture of true love, but its ambiguity makes it more Mona Lisa’s smile than lovers embracing.
