19-year-old Southern California singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Claire Rosinkranz is back with her new single, “Sad In Hawaii” via slowplay/Republic Records. The track finds Claire detailing an unforgettable (for all the wrong reasons) trip to Hawaii. Her vocals flutter from confessional verses into the anthemic chant, “Probably still rocking my Nikes, but I’ll still be said in Hawaii.” Listen to it now below.
On the inspiration behind the song, Claire says, “This song is about how everything around you can look so picture perfect, but it’s not as flawless as it seems when you’re not doing well on the inside. I was in Hawaii when I had an uncomfortable situation happen to me that took a toll on my mental health and made it hard for me to enjoy where I was. Impressive how your brain can ruin an experience that should be paradise.”
“Sad In Hawaii” sets the stage for Claire’s anxiously awaited debut album, set for release this year.
Tonight, Claire kicks off her nearly sold-out North American headline tour in Minneapolis, which will make stops at New York’s Webster Hall on February 10th, Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre on March 10th and 11th, and more. Shows are quickly selling out—see the full list of upcoming dates below and get remaining tickets at www.clairerosinkranz.com/shows/.
