“I poured some gold in your cup // to squeeze out some hazy truths // we move on up // and as the afternoon lingers on.” (Alicia Clara, Hazemaze)

Self-awareness is often one of the hardest lessons to learn, and re-learn, especially when it comes to relationships. Alicia Clara sings to this process with her latest single “Hazemaze,” a song about her “obsession with fixing people, and wanting to turn them into (her) idealized version of them(selves).” But according to Alicia, “This often ends in me fooling myself, and, ultimately, in a little bit of a disaster. It’s my little self-deprecating song!”

With silky lyrics, and upbeat instrumentals, this psych-pop folk track is surprisingly upbeat. It’s the kind of song you sway around to in your bedroom, doing your makeup, while you think about how beautiful it will be to be able to dance with friends again.

This is the latest single off of Alicia Clara’s upcoming EP Outsider/Unusual, (prod. Michael Kalman) which is set to release early next year on Hot Tramp Records.
