Imogen Clark – Big One

We may only be two months deep, but 2024 is already ‘the big one’ for Imogen Clark. An Australian tour with duo BOWEN * YOUNG, the announcement of her new album The Art of Getting Through and a massive regional Australian tour with INXS legend Andrew Farriss. Today she unveils “Big One”, the epic love anthem at the heart of her upcoming record, with a sound that recalls the best of 80s pop and rock.

 “I wanted a song that was intimate and vulnerable but massive, as big sounding as the feelings I was writing about,” says Imogen. “I wrote it with Sam Phay in Melbourne, and I came in with the idea that had been growing in my mind, this hunger to be the big one in somebody’s life, the love that stays in their heart even if the relationship doesn’t last”.

 The scope and intensity of the song demanded the best of the best to realize the recording. Traveling to Los Angeles, Imogen and producer Mike Bloom decamped to the iconic EastWest Studios, where The Beach Boys recorded ‘Pet Sounds’ and Red Hot Chili Peppers cut ‘Californication’. With five-time Grammy winner Ross Hogarth (Miley Cyrus, Van Halen) engineering, Imogen drafted in Dawes drummer Griffin Goldsmith and bassist Gus Seyffert (Adele, Sia, The Black Keys) who brought incredible passion and dexterity to the track.

The song is taken from the thirteen-track album The Art of Getting Through, set for release May 31. Recorded between Los Angeles, London, Sydney, Melbourne and Nashville, the LP is the most ambitious artistic statement yet from an artist who is always challenging herself to push beyond her boundaries, an album about shouldering the weight of life’s baggage and power forward. Each month leading into the album’s release, Imogen will unveil a new track from the genre-busting record, starting with “All Hard Feelings” in January and continuing today.
