Claire Rousay’s ‘Sentiment’ is a self-described pop album that is anything but ordinary. It’s a brilliant tour de force that showcases her unique brand of ’emo ambient’ music, which blends elements of pop, rock, ambient, and electronica.
Rousay has a gift for writing twisted love songs, as evidenced by tracks like ‘Head,’ where she sings, ‘Spending half my whole life giving you head/Just in case you need to forgive me one day for something I did.’ Her lyrics are raw and honest, and they explore the complexities of love, loss, and loneliness.
The music on ‘Sentiment’ is as diverse as the lyrics. There are soaring synth textures, warped melodies, robot AutoTune vocals, and even rock guitar weaving in and out of the mix. But it’s all tied together by Rousay’s deft production, which creates a cohesive and immersive soundscape.
‘Sentiment’ is a deeply personal album, and it’s clear that Rousay has poured her heart and soul into it. It’s an album that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced love, loss, or loneliness. It’s a powerful and moving work of art that is sure to stay with you long after you’ve finished listening to it.
