Swedish singer-songwriter Clara Mae has teamed up with multi-platinum country recording artist Russell Dickerson for collaborative new single 'Alright' – available today alongside a self-directed video companion (watch below). Co-written by Clara and fellow UMPG writer Calle Lehmann (Panic! At The Disco, Liam Payne) the duet captures yet another stage of romance – serving as soundtrack to tumultuous post-breakup emotions.
"We wrote this song about that weird feeling that occurs after a break up, when you often just stop talking to each other but obviously still care about the person. Sometimes you just want to know the other person is ok, even without any intention of winning them back. I’ve always been a huge fan of country music, and when I heard Russell’s voice on the record I knew it was the perfect fit. I’m so honored he wanted to join and can’t wait for the world to hear this song." – CLARA MAE
'Alright' precedes the release of Clara’s highly-anticipated sophomore Drunk On Emotions EP- The 8-track collection also includes new track 'Not Ok,' along with previous standout releases 'Overused' featuring multi-platinum singer-songwriter-producer gnash (which was deemed "an emotional bop" by Idolator), 'Run Into You' (which UPROXX praised as "captivating") and 'Lost' (which was featured on Entertainment Weekly’s summer pop playlist).
