IMOGEN CLARK NEW SINGLE & VIDEO

“FORGET ABOUT LONDON” OUT NOW

MIKE BLOOM PRODUCED BASTARDS EP DUE 5/21/21

Praise for Imogen Clark…

“Clark radiated infectious energy… she commanded the stage with a matchless acuity.”
– Sydney Morning Herald ****1/2

“… this EP will become a landmark.” – Rolling Stone (Australia) ****1/2

“…[ Imogen Clark] has been swinging for the hit-single fences for four albums Down Under but finally knocks it straight out of the park with this confection [‘My Own Worst Enemy’] from her latest American EP, The Making of Me.” – Paste Magazine

"Putting a more upbeat, optimistic spin on a more somber subject of breaking up, the delicate pop of ‘Found Me’ gently pricks the pain and ultimate bravado of coming out on the other side of heartache…” – American Songwriter

“with powerful vocals and an infectious drum beat, Clark sets out to cure a broken heart. This breakup anthem will pick you up off the floor, dust you off and have you feeling ready to start seeing the world in color once again.” – Parade Magazine

In 2020, Imogen Clark turned lemons into lemonade, taking the setbacks of the year in her stride. She released a critically acclaimed EP, performed back-to-back sold-out Sydney launch concerts in September, dropped a nostalgic Christmas single, and wrapped it all up with an epic First Annual Holiday Hootenanny gig with her musical mates – including Montaigne, Jack Moffitt (The Preatures), Lindsay McDougall (Frenzal Rhomb) and more.

In 2021, she’s upping the ante. Imogen returns with ‘Forget About London’, the captivating new tune and lead single from her forthcoming EP, due out later this year. Penned with Melbourne-based singer-songwriter-producer Eilish Gilligan, who also performs backing vocals on the track, ‘Forget About London’ is a Taylor Swift-style breakup banger.

“Written with Australian singer/songwriter Eilish Gilligan, the song hits all the right pop heights as Clark soars above the instrumental on the anthemic chorus. Add in a perfectly placed sax solo, an earworm backing vocal from Gilligan, and a clattering drum pattern from Pete Thomas of Elvis Costello and the Attractions, and “Forget About London” quickly ascends to dizzying pop rock brilliance.” – Under The Radar

“In the middle of last year, I went through a really tough breakup and was stranded in London for the aftermath”, said Imogen. “I got swept up by this guy, I was on the rebound and found myself falling for him, but in the end, he led me on and left me heartbroken.

“I came back to Australia thinking the change of scenery would help me get over it, but I couldn’t escape the now tainted memories of this romance.”

‘Forget About London’ sees Imogen join forces with producer Mike Bloom (Julian Casablancas, Jenny Lewis) and Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions), both of whom she worked with on 2020’s The Making Of Me EP.

ABOUT IMOGEN CLARK

Imogen Clark is an Australian singer-songwriter, hailing from the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, whose music ranges from arena-ready rock anthems to raw confessional indie pop.

Since 2016, the 25 year-old has released two studio albums and one EP – 2020’s The Making Of Me – and featured on a number of compilation albums.

Cutting her teeth playing in local pubs in the Blue Mountains during her teen years before taking the stage with artists like Shania Twain, Ian Moss and Willie Watson, Imogen has worked relentlessly over the past decade building up her musical chops. She has worked with Mark Lizotte (Diesel), Kasey Chambers and Jim Lauderdale and cites Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) amongst her collaborators.

Released in August of last year, Imogen Clark’s The Making Of Me EP garnered widespread acclaim both in Australia and North America. Praised for its raw honesty by fans and critics, the six-track offering showcased Imogen’s powerful vocal and reflective lyrics.

Recorded in LA with producer Mike Bloom (Julian Casablancas, Jenny Lewis) at the helm, The Making Of Me features a star-studded line-up with players from some of the world’s greatest rock bands – from Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) on keyboard, to Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) on drums. Local artists Alex Lahey, Clare Bowen, Emma Swift, Anita Lester and more can be found across EP singles ‘Found Me’, ‘My Own Worst Enemy’, ‘The Making Of Me’, and ‘Paper Boat’.
