Over a soundtrack of alternative pop spiked with just the right amount of punk and electronics, Claire Rosinkranz asserts herself as a true Gen-Z storyteller whose vision instantly captivates. The thirteen tracks on her debut album, Just Because narrate a year in Claire's life, revealing a unique duality of teenage normalcy written by a burgeoning pop icon. On lead single "Sad in Hawaii," a head-nodding bass line overtakes a swooning old school sample as Claire details 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." Second single "Never Goes Away" trades electric for acoustic as Claire reflects on the importance of thinking before you speak. "Maybe it's just a little better living in your brain / Instead of spilling it all out and leaving a permanent stain," she sings over finger snaps and electronic drum beats.
