“WAITING”

.

.

Perth singer songwriter Bri Clark has just released her new single ‘Waiting’, enveloping her impeccably agile voice, Bri weaves emotionally wrought alt-pop marvels about love, heartache, and the corporeal grind of living with chronic illness.

‘Waiting’ was written in spring 2019 following a turbulent breakup, the release sees the emboldened balladeer honing her most honest and raw offerings to date. Accompanied by intelligent dark-pop nuances and slick, hard-hitting production throughout, the lyrics are presented as first-hand narrations of chapters in an audiobook as Bri Clark goes through the grieving process of a dysphoric relationship.

Speaking on the track, Bri said.“You know when you’ve been lied to and ghosted and love bombed and then lied to again, and then you end up waking up in the morning to a cold, distant stranger? That’s Waiting.”

Now with the healing passage of time on her side, Bri Clark is eagerly waiting in the wings to unveil her emancipating debut that chronicles the exquisite ache of love lost and acceptance gained in an emotional yet necessary purgatory catharsis.

Speaking on the music video, Bri said, “We wanted to capture the loneliness and fragility of a relationship at its breaking point, and the resilience it takes to pull yourself away from someone that’s hurt and continues to hurt you. It was quite a heavy video to film, and even more uncomfortable to watch, but nothing about this record is easy and I want people going through this to know they’re not alone.”

Bri Clark has rapidly earned her status as one of Australia’s most enthralling artists on the rise, releasing her breakthrough single ‘Giving Up’ in 2018 after emerging from a two year hiatus spent focussing on her health after being diagnosed with Lupus; an unpredictable and enduring autoimmune disease. This time away from the regular artist’s cycle not only provided Bri with a newfangled appreciation of self-care and accessibility in the music industry, but also an invaluable period of creative incubation, where Bri found herself writing incessantly as a means to process her emotions and the constant changes within her body.

In 2018 Bri was selected for the APRA AMCOS SongHubs initiative, performing an exclusive songwriters showcase at BIGSOUND and attending a series of intensive songwriting boot camps curated by the likes of Robert Conley (2018), Georgina McAvenna (The Tower, 2019), and PJ Harding (The Tower, 2021). She was the first ever recipient of the APRA AMCOS Female Mentorship program, being mentored by Mark Lizotte (Diesel) in the songwriting category before becoming a mentor herself in 2021 for APRA’s inaugural SongGeneration program. In the last year alone, 12 of Bri’s songs have been released by the likes of Dami Im, AYA YVES, and Sarah Saint James for her TikTok hit ‘Mad at God’. She has had four Vanda & Young shortlisted songs in the last three years, and has confirmed songwriting credits on the upcoming sophomore record from indie-pop heavyweight, Vera Blue.

As a live act, Bri Clark is utterly breathtaking and her transcendental performances often leave audiences agape with awe. She has supported the likes of Middle Kids, Ainslie Wills, Holy Holy, Ben Abraham, Clare Bowditch and Airling, and has headlined her own shows in Perth and Melbourne. After spending the past few years living in Sydney, toplining for national and international artists such as Meduza (ITA), Jax Jones (UK), Pacific Heights (NZ), Josh Fountain (NZ) and more, Bri is thrilled to be back on Western Australian soil.

‘Waiting’ is available on all platforms now.
