With On Purpose, singer-songwriter Clara Kay debuts with an intimate and emotionally layered song. It’s a track shaped by complex feelings and a deep desire for resolution.
Originally from Dallas, Texas and now based in Boston, Claire Hudson (who performs as Clara Kay) brings years of musical experience to her work. After fronting rock bands and quietly writing folk songs in the privacy of her bedroom, she’s developed a distinctive sound that bridges both worlds. Her music blends emotional honesty with sharp, thoughtful songwriting that feels both grounded and refined.
Clara Kay’s debut single arrives with the full weight of her storytelling ability, confronting a haunting question: how do you grieve someone who hurt you while still carrying the burden of self-blame? On Purpose explores this emotional terrain by tracing the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The song unfolds in vivid stages, beginning with isolation and silence, shifting into raw, unfiltered anger, and eventually reaching a fragile sense of hope that perhaps the fault doesn’t lie entirely within. It’s both a plea for closure and a declaration of self-worth.
Carried by Clara Kay’s soft, expressive vocals, On Purpose weaves delicate acoustic guitar with dramatic, modern production. The track gradually builds into an emotionally rich soundscape, capturing the weight and tension of its subject with striking clarity and depth.
In terms of production, On Purpose was mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Ariel Borujow and mastered by Ian Stewart, adding a professional edge to its emotional depth. The track is accompanied by a visually striking music video, co-directed by Clara Kay and Asher Thomas. Set against the backdrop of a surreal Western showdown, the video reflects the song’s core tension, with shifting roles of villain and victim that echo the internal conflict explored in the lyrics.
