Klara McDonnell - Wasted Single Review

By


Klara McDonnell is a singer, songwriter and actress from Dublin. Klara was the lead singer for alt-rock band Hypno Puppet for five years before going solo. Her music has been described as jazz, pop, soul, folk, funk, acoustic and country and has led to her being compared to artists such as Lana Del Rey. Klara released her debut solo EP "Trapped Within" in early 2018 followed closely by the single "Sinking Unknowing" which garnered her high praise and radio airplay in places such as Germany, Netherlands, South Africa, USA, Uk and obviously Ireland. Now Klara McDonnell returns with her brand new single "Wasted" which is due to be released on July 26th.



"Wasted" is a pop rock song with a healthy dose of country undertones. It's engaging and ironically quite addictive.  Klara delivers her lyrics in a sensuous voice not unlike that of Kylie Minogue which adds a distinguished depth to the single.
Klara says of the song "Although "Wasted" deals with the depths of addictions and is melancholy, I feel overall there is a hopeful tune to the song which I hope will resonate".

She is also a part of the musical wing of Extinction Rebellion. Her influences include T Bone Walker, Amy Winehouse and Leonard Cohen.

Logan J Parker is a singer songwriter from Portugal but currently residing in London. Just a couple of weeks ago I reviewed her single Cry Cry Cry and now she returns with her latest single Blue. About the song, Logan says " Blue is another sad song I wrote about the lockdown and it's dedicated to my mother and best friend Rita. Without her, I wouldn't be a musician." Watch the video here: Blue is a quirky upbeat jazz track and is Logan's first foray into the ukulele. The happy vibes of the music and Logan's vocal delivery masks the sadness in the lyrics. This song will put you in a  good mood for the rest of the day.  Follow Logan J Parker: Twitter Instagram Facebook Spotify Official Website SoundCloud YouTube
