Sydney based alt-country singer-songwriter Imogen Clark has been busy lately, revealing plans to release her new album Collide on 27 April 2018, dropping her catchy new single and video “Your Anything At All” and listing so many tour dates it’s impossible not to get out and see her.
Collide is Clark’s second album and was produced by Australian music legend Mark Lizotte (Diesel).
“I’ve largely been working in the alternative country scene up until now, so on this record I wanted to work with someone who understood that genre, but also had knowledge in plenty of other areas,” Clark explained. “Mark was the perfect person to help me achieve this broad, cross-over record which reflected the multitude of my musical influences. We captured everything I love to play and listen to, from country to folk and rock, and as such the album really represents the sort of singer/songwriter I want to be. It was a pleasure working with such a legend.”
For the new single and video “Your Anything At All” Clark roped in the many talents of director Jeremy Dylan. She’s collaborated with him on all her music video releases to date.
“I wrote “Your Anything At All” in my head while on stage at one of my gigs,” says Clark. “The song covers defiance and confidence in the face of self-doubt, and rebelling with strength against someone who’s made you feel worthless. There’s vulnerability but also sass in the song.”
