RocKwiz’s Clio Unleashes Stunning Solo Single Ahead of EP Release

You might know Clio as the keyboard queen of RocKwiZ. But she’s actually an accomplished singer-songwriter in her own right, as showcased on her beautiful new single “Something Left to Leave Behind.”

It’s a delicate piece which reflects on the pain of a failed relationship with such poise and grace. The combination of strings, piano, and Clio’s angelic vocals is sublime.

“The confusion, anger and sadness after hearing your ex-partner has moved on. This song is working through all of that,” Clio explained. “The harsh, bratty vocal delivery in the chorus, accompanied by brooding chord progression were composed to take the listener into post break-up angst mayhem. The repeated epilogue at the end of the track is like the calm after the storm- a time for reflection and acceptance.”

“Something Left to Leave Behind” is the title track from Clio’s new EP. She’ll support its April 23 release with a show at Melbourne’s The Gasometer Upstairs on April 26 and another at The Bridge Hotel in Castlemaine on April 28.

Chet Faker & Saskwatch’s Nkechi Anele “Rock On” on RocKwiz

How good is RocKwiz this year? I must admit, the show used to be something I caught now and again. However when Spicks and Specks ended, it became compulsory viewing to satisfy my music trivia cravings. While I love yelling out the answers to the questions at my television set, the highlight for me is always those duets at the end. You just never know quite what you’re going to get, and it’s so often magical. One of my favourites in recent weeks was the coming together of Chet Faker and Saskwatch frontwoman Nkechi Anele for David Essex’s “Rock On”. If this doesn’t get you grooving, nothing will!
