Claud has announced that their third studio album Me and the Music will be released on October 23 via Dead Oceans. To tease the album, which Claud co-produced with John Congleton, the songwriter has shared the lead single “She Doesn’t Love Me.” Regarding the cut, Claud said: “I love the community I have in America and find so much optimism in people being united in seeking progress. This is a love song for that community.”
As for the new album, the artist added: “I was just sick of taking everything so seriously—Supermodels was such a serious record, and I just sulked in feelings for so long. Such terrible things have happened in this country the last few years, but I’ve only grown closer to the people around me because of that. The world has shown me that the worst can happen, but it might just bring you closer to your community. There’s a difference between being sincere with life and taking life too seriously.”
