Klara Cloud returns with her latest work alongside The Vultures, an album that channels the timeless Baroque qualities of polyphony, contrast, and expression into a contemporary jazz-fusion narrative. The record unfolds as a profoundly human journey through emotion, memory, and rebirth, tracing a musical path from the first spark of life to the quiet afterglow of death. Each track opens a new chapter of introspection and feeling, offering listeners an immersive experience that is both intimate and expansive.
Moments of serene melancholy, as in “Peony,” coexist with the flowing, kinetic energy of tracks like “Waterfalls.” The song “Se Tu Me Dimentichi” brings Pablo Neruda’s poetry vividly to life, while “Funeral” transforms loss into light, meditating on a silence that feels already wise. At the heart of the album is the track “Stephanie,” a symbol of endurance and wonder, framed by a sonic tapestry as intricate and vivid as a Baroque painting.
Cloud is joined by a stellar ensemble of musicians: Mateusz Smoczynski on violin, Mateusz Gaweda on piano, Adam Tadel on double bass, Piotr Budniak on drums, and guest violinist Bartosz Dworak. Their contributions help realize Cloud’s vision, which balances delicate intimacy with sweeping grandeur. Produced by Klara Cloud and recorded at Poland’s Sound & Wave Studio, the album captures the essence of transformation—fragile yet fearless, lyrical yet raw.
Dedicated to her children, Stefania and Julian, the album stands as both a deeply personal diary and a universal reflection, echoing the beauty that can emerge from silence and the passage of time. With this release, Cloud and The Vultures offer listeners a richly layered, emotional, and musically sophisticated exploration of life in all its complexities.
