Hailing from London, newcomer Cloud Klaus is a genre-fluid producer, songwriter and artist, whose creative versatility translates into a thrilling musical offering. Whether he’s crafting music for other artists or his own endeavour, Cloud Klaus consistently strives to surprise and connect with listeners.
Taking cues from artists such as Jamiroquai, NER*D, Childish Gambino and Todd Rundgren, his solo sonic output has begun to take shape, built on his free-flowing style that cuts across a range of different genres. After recently being laid off from his full-time job, the abrupt event provided the creative spark for Cloud Klaus to write a full album of material and produce it in his flat.
Covering themes from being aromantic, living with ADHD and autism as well as struggling to express himself in a world that favours conformity and expected norms. Bringing us the first taste of the record and unveiling his solo artistic adventure, he shares his brand new debut single titled “I Don’t Need No Love.”
Penning the song as a vehicle to vent about societal pressure to seek love, stitched with threads that ultimately champion self-love as a priority, “I Don’t Need No Love” is an empowering dance pop anthem. Opened by the pulse of drum shots as bright piano stabs and spacey vocal samples float around the mix, Cloud’s slick vocal leads enter to lay down punchy rhythmic lines, fluttering with intensity as the arrangement builds around his voice.
Driven by the snap of drums and lifted by a colourful arrangement of crips synth tones and piano chords, Cloud Klaus spins lively vocals throughout, maintaining relentless bounce throughout. Capped by instantly catchy vocal hooks and uplifting lyrical writing, “I Don’t Need No Love” sees Cloud Klaus take his first steps as an exciting new artist who’s sure to win over fans across the UK and beyond.
Produced by the artist himself in his home studio, the track is an epic display of his sonic skillset as a singer-songwriter and individual with a unique and compelling vision. With his debut full-length record on the horizon, we can’t wait to see what he’ll serve up next.
