Clare Easdown released her original single, "Rebel Hearts," a track that refuses to kowtow to societal norms and celebrates self expression without fear.


We had a chance to watch the official music video for "Rebel Heart," by Clare Easdown and it perfectly aligns with the message of not allowing others to define who you are or force you into societal norms. 


We start off with the lyrics “fuck the norms” and “fuck the system,” which instantly convey what this song is all about. Forcing people to hold back their self-expression can destroy us all down to our core. Clare Easdown delivers a terrific performance with this psychedelic track, mixed in a home studio and featuring vocals recorded off an iPhone. All of its imperfections are embraced, showing that perfection isn’t always what creates beauty.


Imagine a world where everyone is the same, rubber-stamped one after the other; we would have no creativity. The vocals in this track are actually awesome and really cool because they have gentle touches and varying imperfections that give it texture—much like a worn-out leather jacket that looks more beautiful than a brand-new one right off the rack. The catchy beats pack a punch, and the sped-up video of Clare’s girlfriend shirtless allows them to feel free without hiding who they are on the inside or out! It’s a fantastic message delivered by an artist leading the way in the industry, protecting the rights of people, and ensuring that music doesn’t just become one AI-generated song after another.


Clare Easdown, the innovative vocalist and music producer from Menai, Australia, is back with her electrifying new single, "Rebel Hearts." This anthem is a fearless celebration of individuality, urging listeners to defy societal norms and boldly embrace their true selves.

Recorded in her intimate home studio in Sydney, Clare took on the mixing and mastering herself, intentionally highlighting imperfections that capture the song's genuine and unrefined spirit. "Rebel Hearts" represents an exciting evolution in her sound, seamlessly blending Trap, Trip-Hop, and now exploring the gritty realms of Post-Punk, influenced by trailblazers like Grimes and iconic Punk bands such as Bikini Kill and Fugazi.

This track challenges the status quo, reflecting Clare's passion for self-expression and her commitment to resisting conformity. It's an invitation for all misfits to stand tall and revel in their distinctiveness. Clare’s mission is to empower listeners, reminding us that it’s perfectly fine to embrace our quirks.


Her artistic journey is both diverse and inspiring, from performing in Sydney’s vibrant neighborhoods and artsy districts like Newtown and Circular Quay to headlining at renowned venues such as LazyBones Bar in Marrickville. Clare has also made waves on the airwaves, with her self-produced tracks aired on FBI Radio and 89.5 VALLEY FM.

In "Rebel Hearts," Clare steps boldly out of her comfort zone, diving into Political Punk, Post-Punk, and Pop Punk influences. The vocals were recorded spontaneously on her iPhone using the BandLab app, capturing an authentic essence that celebrates the charm of imperfection in music. The accompanying official music video features striking footage of Clare’s girlfriend skating, showcasing the creativity found in everyday moments. It perfectly aligns with the song's message: art should be accessible to everyone, and anyone can create something remarkable—whether it’s music or skating.


At its essence, "Rebel Hearts" is about embracing your identity as a misfit, overturning societal expectations, and living authentically. Clare's goal is clear: to create a welcoming space for listeners to explore their unique traits and celebrate what sets them apart.

As Clare herself expresses, “I want to inspire musicians to break the mold and show everyone that music doesn’t have to be flawless to connect. Let’s celebrate the beauty of being real!”
