Clairo recently posted a cover of the Vashti Bunyan ballad “Winter Is Blue.” The original track appears on Bunyan’s beloved 1970 album, Just Another Diamond Day. Clairo released a pared-down video in which she sings and accompanies herself on acoustic guitar. Check it out below.
In the coming months, Bunyan’s recent memoir, Wayward, Just Another Life to Live, will be revised and issued in paperback, following the hardcover edition that was made available in the United States earlier this year.
Earlier this month, Clairo released a one-off single called “For Now.” All proceeds from the track went toward For the Gworls and Everytown for Gun Safety. The former organization assists Black transgender people with rent, gender-affirming surgeries, and other necessities, while Everytown for Gun Safety is an organization working to prevent gun violence through advocacy.
