Claire Nicolson returns with her new single "Drive", independently released on 26th March — a bold, forward-moving track that signals a powerful new chapter. Cinematic, pulsing and emotionally charged, Drive captures that defining moment when standing still is no longer an option. It’s about momentum, risk and choosing to press forward. Self penned and produced, Claire’s atmospheric production builds around her unmistakable vocal — warm, intimate and quietly fierce — creating a sound that feels both expansive and deeply personal. With a background that includes touring and performing alongside established artists and building a reputation for compelling live shows and heartfelt songwriting, Claire continues to evolve as an independent artist. “Drive” showcases her confidence, creative control and artistic growth. credits releases March 26, 2026 Written and produced by Claire Nicolson.

Claire Nicolson is a shape-shifting multi-instrumentalist carving her own path after years creating magic with nameD collaborators. Classically trained but gloriously unruly, she blends aternative, pop, rock, country, indie—and now a splash of electronic grit—into a sound that’s unmistakably hers.
She moves easily from stripped-back acoustic vibes to a wild three-piece loop-driven setup, and when her seven-strong crew The Paramedics roll in—green uniforms and all—it turns into a full-blown, high-voltage ride.
another new single drops on March 26th, complete with remixes, letting her flip between DJ, performer, and sonic troublemaker. Expect electronic pulses, dance-floor edges, and alt-driven twists woven into her already colourful world.
From her home base in Hooe, East Sussex, Claire’s sending waves far beyond the coastline.
Think: Goldfrapp meets Fleetwood Mac with a dash of Crazy P.
