“I wrote this song about experiencing the fullness of life with someone you love. You’ve heard what it sounds like. Here’s what swinging at the stars looks like.” – Claire Rosinkranz
NEW YORK, NY – OCTOBER 25TH, 2023 – Today, 19-year-old Southern California singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Claire Rosinkranz unveils the official music video for her latest single “Swinging At The Stars,” taken from her debut album Just Because, out now. The sunny and playful video stars Claire alongside actor Gavin Casalegno [Jeremiah in Amazon Prime’s The Summer I Turned Pretty], following the two best friends on a summertime adventure around Malibu.
On the meaning behind the song, Claire says, “‘Swinging at the Stars’ is about wanting to experience the fullness of living, and about experiencing beautiful things with someone else. I love to feel everything. I’m obsessed with the abundance that comes with being alive. The fact that I’m capable of feeling all these things and all these emotions – and so if I can touch all the corners of that, that’s what this song feels like.”
The Gold-Certified artist recently announced her 2024 headline North American tour—“Claire Roskinkranz: A Live Experience,” which kicks off on March 5th in Portland, OR at Wonder Ballroom and makes stops at Los Angeles’ The Fonda Theatre on March 12th, New York’s Irving Plaza on March 29th, and more. See the full list of tour dates below, and tickets are on-sale now via www.clairerosinkranz.com/shows/.
