On Good Mourning, Clara La San creates a soundscape that fuses dreamy, R&B-inspired vocals with sleek electronic textures, offering a balance of emotional intimacy and futuristic production. The release marks a significant moment in her artistic evolution as she presents the mixtape as she always intended it to be heard and seen.

"This song came about at the time when we re-approached “Good Mourning” in 2023,” Clara says about “Enemy”. “Jam City showed me some new beats, and when we finished what became “Enemy”, I immediately knew it was the missing piece from the mixtape. It pulled everything together, and finally made the project feel complete”.
Good Mourning draws from Clara La San’s influences spanning 90s trip-hop, early 2000s R&B, and contemporary electronic music. Co-produced with Jam City, the mixtape earned immediate attention upon its initial release, with features in outlets like The FADER, before being taken down from digital platforms by Clara herself. This act, though unintentional, created an aura of mystique, as fans archived and shared ripped demos, cementing the project as a treasured underground gem.
Now, after years of messages from fans asking her to officially release the music, Clara’s art has been given the time needed to perfect and create a visual world that properly encapsulates and presents the music.
For this re-release, Clara recorded fresh vocals at her home studio, bringing an emotional depth and clarity to the music. The updated production enhances the tape’s rich layers of sound, offering a lush auditory experience. Described by fans as deeply relatable yet hauntingly beautiful, single "Unplanned" exemplifies Clara’s knack for turning personal moments into cinematic soundscapes. The track’s delicate layering of melodies and beats creates an immersive listening experience, where every note feels intentional yet effortlessly organic. The inclusion of “Enemy”, a brand-new bonus track and video, amplifies the reimagined collection and aligns seamlessly with Clara’s signature ability to blend heartfelt storytelling and cutting-edge production. Good Mourning’s re-release serves not only as a gift to fans but also as a landmark moment in Clara’s artistry. Good Mourning is finally available on all major streaming platforms, providing fans the opportunity to stream and rediscover the music in its intended form. With its reimagined sound, bonus track, and enhanced visuals, this release marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Clara La San as she transitions into 2025 with plans for a new tour and forthcoming music. |
