Reviews:
Love Ya is the keenly anticipated fifth album from the British-born Filipina singer/songwriter Chlara, renowned for her passionate, honey-coated vocals and skillful guitar playing. The album is her first featuring all original material since her 2014 debut, Unstoppable, and shows the 29-year-old “Acoustic Songbird” reaching a new level of maturity. It includes twelve new tracks, all self-penned meditations on love and life except for Chlara’s uniquely ethereal reframing of David Bowie’s iconic “Heroes” track. Highlights include the recent singles “I Is The Loneliest Letter” and “Come To Bed”; also ear-catching is the blissful chillout groove “Sunburn” and the sensual bedroom ballad “747,” where Chlara exudes a smouldering eroticism.
