man thanks so much for listening! Claire's voice is incredible, the band for this track is so tight, and the song is a wildly inspired genre fusion. so glad you enjoyed!!

[@clixr]

OMG!!! Thank you so much 😭😭😭 we seriously have to do the challenge I’m so in

[@jayfrench5758]

So happy Michael shared your music! I find the majority of my playlist come from the shared music from Michael's channel. I look forward to listening to more of your music as I was pretty speechless with this song, had a listen to Body Language and was great as well! Keep doing what you're doing, it's really awesome :) New sub here, thanks Claire

[@toddashton9696]

Wow really enjoyed that Claire. Everything about it. Where do I get one of those shirts?.......

[@katieeisenhower1168]

Thank you! This funky jazzy piece brought me out of a funky mood. Music is transformative. ❤

You need to listen to Ado's new song Elf

[@tenkarabadger5244]

That was wild. Wildly refreshing.

[@nelsonw2096]

Unexpected is a great word for it. Well done Claire and friends!

[@KellySKline]

I’m sitting here laughing watching your initial reaction. Fun track! Looking forward to hearing more from them.

[@supasoulproductions]

Jazzy, yes, but definite psych vibes as well. Almost Trip-hop. Right up my alley!!

[@draz0909]

Impressive there.

[@Mark_B585]

I love the fact that there's actual instruments on this she has great flow too

[@doodoo871]

You should try the roots or Erika B.

[@Mark_B585]

@doodoo871 already listen to them they rock but thank you. I appreciate it.

[@patmayer7222]

mac miller vibes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,anyone else?????,,,( young lola😮),,,,a-plus

[@eric.galano]

My first thought

[@arthousebill]

Yes, but what's with the, like, 24 commas?

[@TruckinSongster]

Okay CLAIRE!!!! I see you!!!!!!!!!

[@pocketlama]

Why the snide comments? Seriously, what am I missing that this is so bad? I liked it a lot. It was unexpected for me, too, but it took just a small little adjustment to my inner ear to quickly come to love it. She's clearly doing something intentional here.

[@doodoo871]

Because people really don’t like it and that’s totally fine and they’re right to do.

[@pocketlama]

@@doodoo871 Sure, there's lots of music I don't enjoy also. But, people are being rude about it and I'm wondering and asking why. Why the strong reactions? Not like people need to justify their reaction, just me wondering what's up.

[@BrockBarr]

Super cool.

[@Gert-Jan_Witteveen]

Michael, this is great! Imagine collaborating with her: this’ll broaden your horizons. Super cool!

[@flakesinyershoe8137]

This is like that time i had access to unlimited magic mushrooms. It wasn't as fun as i thought it was going to be, but i learned some things

[@Wrecktoid]

Yeah, that's brilliant!

[@kathryntitus9647]

I guess I would call this jazz rap. I actually like it!

[@parkercoe100]

Her stuff is dope, not to get into comparisons but I saw some in the comments, her stuff reminds me a lot of the vibe I got when discovering / listening to “noname”, particularly anything off of her album “Room 25”

[@gregschulz3966]

If it's not your jam, scroll on by, people. I think it's awesome.

[@chungmulah]

bro is speechless

[@intrasource]

You can tell they have a lot of records. 👂

[@Drone-h2i]

they ae doing their thing.

[@mitchweiner]

From rapping straight into vibrato and back? Whoa!

[@danieltanner5804]

She does with her voice what Jacob Collier does with his guitar

[@MichaelWilson-nr1tz]

Let me lend my voice to people who liked this track. I’m getting Tank and the Bangas vibes. There’s a lot of fun and sophisticated musicianship going on here.

[@patmayer7222]

,,......were all out here starving for NEW music = this helps😮❤

[@joshgilliam]

What’s with the hater comments? I understand difference in tastes and music not being for you, but I thought most people who comment and subscribe here were able to appreciate music in general. I can’t put my finger on what the effect is, but it sounds like tape drag. It was interesting different.

[@garrettm1813]

I was wondering if it was either some kind of tape effect or a little spring reverb in there on the chorus.

[@castipho]

Does anyone know if Michael has done a video on Phil Ochs?

[@johnnywlittle]

Bananas what a great comment. A buddy of mine does that from the Midwest and I haven’t heard it for years.

[@dizzydad4708]

I kind of really like the freedom of this track. I wasn't expecting anything like what it was and then it just stopped

[@kynnon3490]

penicillin got me itchin

[@nrgplay26]

There is a Japanese word for this. “Onchi”. Sounds like own-chi. You say the Own part with a low growl…It’s a great word. It means off-key 🤣

[@Bricklinsv1970]

What did I just watch.

[@aidanmccoy5964]

I see the comments have never heard rap before.

[@trcgodllo]

You need to listen to Ado's new song Elf

[@timbradley135]

“Modal”

[@jonderbyshire]

I thought it was awesome

[@_uncredited]

Interesting approach to pitch. And by 'interesting', I mean awful.

[@Mark_B585]

How interesting because it seems like you have a lot of anxiety and anger. Oh well 😐

[@johnnywlittle]

@@Mark_B585😂what?!

[@_uncredited]

@@Mark_B585 Yes. I'm absolutely furious.

[@Mark_B585]

@_uncredited I never said anything about being furious. But it's obvious you've got a lot of unresolved anxiety and anger. Let me be more clear your passive aggressive behavior is childish

[@_uncredited]

@@Mark_B585 You can tell all that just from a stranger's comment on a youtube video? You have a real gift. Thanks, doc.

[@omeg4Chad]

Well, that was some horseshit

[@bertblue9683]

Best comment here!

[@blssod7212]

@@bertblue9683 2nd best comment here

[@joansola02]

I also thought she's often off-key.

[@SophisticatedBob]

Uh, that was one of the worst things I've ever heard. Couldn't finish it. Looking forward to your next video Michael.

[@dewdew34]

Like Erykah Badu but too many verses. Can't enjoy the music. Younger folks would appreciate it more.

[@lilbasedboi]

Yikes dawg

[@bertblue9683]

Come on pomp. That was the worst music we've heard in a decade.

[@pstreetblues]

Well, that's enough of that.
