Clara Benin’s 2015 debut album Human Eyes established a folk-pop sound that has only grown dreamier and more surprising. As a student of music management and daughter of Joey Benin (from ’90s pop band Side A), she came prepared for a life in the spotlight. But her songwriting stands on its own with a natural, intuitive touch. Breathtaking vocal performances aside, the magic of Benin’s craft is in how she illuminates seemingly mundane, everyday details—morning trains (“Wrestle”), birds chirping (“Tila”) or the taste of wine on the tongue (“Wine”)—with the emotional forces that guide her.
