Era & Context

Inspired by her father's release from prison and a deep immersion in early-70s New York music, Clark shed digital maximalism for analog warmth, channeling Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone, and downtown sleaze-funk.

Career Phase

Pop Reinvention 2017-2021

Embraced pop collaboration and retro aesthetics, trading angular futurism for synth-pop sheen and eventually 70s analog warmth.
