There’s a quiet revolution humming beneath the surface of Claraty’s newest release, ‘tssbfy’ — an enigmatic abbreviation that unpacks itself like a spell: this song shouldn’t be for you.
What begins as a breakup track quickly morphs into something more alchemical, transcending genre and narrative to become a bold refusal of emotional residue. With her signature mix of synth-pop, lo-fi percussion, and ceremonial texture, Claraty doesn’t just create music — she conjures space.
Sonically, ‘tssbfy’ is a masterclass in duality. Ethereal vocals swirl over sleek, precise electronics — a contrast that mirrors the emotional tension at the heart of the track. The violin, her longtime companion, cuts through digital haze like memory through a dream. It’s emotionally complex yet melodically immediate, shaped by the same sonic sensibility that places her alongside contemporaries like FKA Twigs and Sevdaliza, while still sounding undeniably singular.
What sets Claraty apart is her refusal to choose between the sacred and the synthetic. She threads ancestral soul through a modern, beat-forward palette — stitching together folk, Afrobeat, hip hop, and deep house with ease. It’s no surprise her music has found resonance in both conscious music collectives and underground art circles. With ‘tssbfy’, she turns heartbreak into healing, not by
forgetting the past but by transforming it.
More than a pop song, ‘tssbfy’ is a sonic ritual — a moment of self-liberation caught in real time. Claraty isn’t just writing about letting go; she’s actively performing it, and inviting us into the process. For those willing to listen deeply, this is more than music — it’s medicine.
