Chlara - #acousticNOW (MQA-CD)

Chlara shows that she is an artist who is at the peak of her powers on #acousticNOW. The honey-voiced 26-year-old Chlara is regarded as a rising star in Asia as well as further afield. Astonishingly, three of her songs – ‘The Nights,’ ‘ Say You Won’t Let Go,’ and ‘ILYSB’ – which all appear on her brand new album, #acousticNOW, have each received over 20 million plays on Spotify. Chlara takes a varied selection of songs – from hits by Ed Sheeran and Avicii to Justin Bieber and Tears For Fears – and reimagines them in her own unique acoustic guitar arrangement.

While eight of the album’s tracks have previously been available via several different digital Eps and singles, Chlara has recorded four new tunes to round off the album. She serves up an impassioned version of Train’s matrimonial proposal ‘Marry Me,’ then puts fresh spins on UK alt-rock band Keane’s Everybody’s Changing’(Bonus track) and Air Supply’s ‘Goodbye’. She closes #acousticNOW on a warm intimate note with ‘Slow Dancing In a Burning Room,’ a song from US tunesmith John Mayer’s 2006 album, Continuum.

#acousticNOW is a Hi-Res Audiophile recording. Recorded, mixed and mastered at 96kHZ / 24 bit. This MQA-CD plays back on all CD players. When a conventional CD player is connected to an MQA(Master Quality Authentication) enabled device, the CD will reveal the original master quality.
