Clark on Her Grammy-Nominated Songs
In a recent interview with American Songwriter, Clark talked about both “Buried” and “Dear Insecurity” and what makes them resonate so deeply with listeners. “I don’t know how you get much more vulnerable than those songs,” the singer/songwriter said. “It’s a good reminder that we all feel the same things. That’s what I think connects us as humans,” she added.
She also spoke about receiving six Grammy nominations. “It feels really amazing,” she said. “Somebody told me a long time ago to write what you know, and if it matters to you, it’ll matter to someone else. It’s a good reminder of that to me.”
