Review: Clara La San, Electric – ‘A powerful reminder of how music can bring people together’
Clara La San’s performance at Electric Bristol was nothing short of incredible.
The 33 year old from Manchester began her career by uploading tracks to Soundcloud while at university.
She is known for her alternative R&B and bedroom-pop style with hints of 90s trip-hop influenced beats. Her delicate, otherworldly vocals and moody, synth-heavy sound have made a mark across the world.

Before Clara came on stage, an ambient DJ set built the atmosphere but by the end the audience was getting restless.
A diverse crowd, ranging from young fans to older generations, lifelong followers to new listeners, had come together, united by their shared love of the artist’s music.
After a long wait, Clara La San came on stage and the audience immediately erupted with joy. She started her performance by playing Another Night, exciting everybody.
From her confidence and beautiful vocals, it is clear Clara is a natural performer. Between songs she showed her appreciation for her large fanbase, thanking them many times.
