The new single “Latch on My Heart” from American-Argentinian singer Claire-Mae arrives as a grand, sweet, and warmly melodic release that feels timeless while remaining entirely its own. Now featured on the A-List Playlist, the song will also be played as a special POWERPLAY at 8:30 PM Pacific USA time for the next 2 months, marking it as a standout moment for listeners drawn to classic songwriting and glowing production.

Built around a rich, vintage-inspired atmosphere, “Latch on My Heart” carries a soft 60s meets 70s sheen, complete with gentle flutes, glowing textures, and beautifully balanced chord progressions. There is a subtle echo of Nico-era Velvet Underground in the tone and mood, yet the track confidently inhabits its own world. Claire-Mae’s sweet, expressive vocal delivery gives the song its emotional center, especially in the tender refrain, “You are the one I love,” which lands with sincerity and warmth.

The production leans into a golden-era pop sensibility reminiscent of The Mamas and The Papas, when lush arrangements and heartfelt melodies defined the sound of a generation. That full, comforting sound feels newly relevant again here, making “Latch on My Heart” a touching and uplifting listen, particularly well suited to the reflective warmth of the Christmas season.

Claire-Mae is an American-Argentinian singer from Buenos Aires who chose to remain unidentified at the time of recording due to concurrent work on an EP release. As a result, the pseudonymous artist name Claire-Mae was adopted for this project, allowing the music itself to take center stage.

Echolily is one of those rare artists who come into your life without announcement. And never leaves. That’s what happened to us, and frankly, we love her all the more for it. This young, immensely talented woman, rocked our worlds with her brand new release, entitled rather appropriately “Under the Clocks (Stay)”. And the tune resonated with something so deeply embedded and thoroughly honest inside us that since then, we just can’t stop listening to this amazing track. It’s literally on repeat, and what we particularly love about it is that it never gets old.

You know how, with some songs, you listen to them one, two, ten times, but then after that, you’re kinda sick of them? That doesn’t happen with “Under the Clocks (Stay)”. Maybe it’s because of the echo chamber effect (since it was literally recorded in an echo chamber, true to the artist’s name). Maybe it’s Echolily’s hushed, sensual voice slithering into your earbuds and refusing to let go. Or maybe it’s the fact that with every new listen, you find another thing to hold on to. Another sound or fragment, or word that you just seem to understand a little bit better.

Echolily definitely isn’t one of those artists who scores one hit wonders, because her lyrics are just too complex for anything as mundane as that. Here is an artist who knows how to pull on your strings in just the right way to get into your head and never let go. She is a skilled lyricist, and an accomplished musician, and together, these two skills combine to create a powerfully unique track.

“Under the Clocks (Stay)” is a love song, but you don’t need to be in love to enjoy it. Or rather, you need to be in love with life, and with the miracle that is music, to appreciate the masterpiece this song is.
