Clifford’s Wonderfully Upbeat Release

Clifford was born in Westminster, Maryland in the USA. He has a plethora of numerous talents in music and is an accomplished singer, songwriter, music producer, bass guitarist, keyboardist, and can also play the electronic drums.

Clifford writes, produces and records all of his own music in its entirety, in his home studio. He has expressed a vast and varied network of musical influences, including The Temptations, Fairouz, Blind Willie Johnson, Aretha Franklin, Stromae, MIA, Drake, Diana Ross, Kool & The Gang, Shakira, Jerome Brailey, xxxTentacion, David Bowie, Rihanna, Mozart, Kate Bush, Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash, Eminem, Amr Diab, Beyonce and Yo-Yo Ma.

Clifford believes that, as we are now past the two years of pandemic-related seclusion, we will be able to return to a world of engagement. Commenting on the foundation of creating a fantastic pop song, he states: “I learned that creating a pop song is about decision making, since it’s such a broad genre. What sets a pop song apart from others are the elements you choose to leave out, which means everything you leave in has to be perfect.”

“Can We Dance To This” is an upbeat indie pop tune about making a request to someone that you’ve not yet met. There is a very happy undertone in the song from start to finish, driven by a relentlessly progressive piano loop that works perfectly in-tandem with a punchy bass guitar, complimented by occasional electronic guitar riffs to keep things fresh, and the whole thing topped off perfectly with Clifford’s driving and extremely catchy vocals. It is songs like “Can We Dance To This” that precisely resonate with the saying: “you’re only ever one song away from a good mood”.
