Southern California musician/songwriter Clo Sur has released a new single titled “All My Fault,” featuring budding French producer and multi-instrumentalist Nezzy.
Clo Sur says, “Nezzy and I met on YouTube after he remixed a single of mine. We talked about collaborating after he sent me a track with no vocals to write over. I love the melodic emotion Nezzy clearly writes with. The guitar lines really inspired the lyrics. “All My Fault” is about taking ownership for the pain you’ve caused someone. It can be tempting to reach out and offer that apology, but there’s always the possibility that, even if those intentions are good, it may not be what’s for the best. Sometimes it’s better to leave things as they are. The great thing about songwriting is it allows me to express those things, to offer that apology, to take responsibility, and move on.”
Clo Sur describes his music, which is driven by emotional lyrics and intimate and warm pop vocals, as “modern, but not leaning too heavily towards current pop production trends. There are synths and samples that can make a song sound super dated the following year, so I think it’s first important to have the songwriting really defined. I like to have a main instrument like piano or guitar at the center of the mix supporting the vocal. I think it grounds the song and makes it timeless. If a song I write can’t carry itself on its own, it’s not worth adding full production, and every song I release has to start from that principle. The supporting production will vary based on what I think a specific song is calling for.”
