Enveloping and enigmatic, Clare Easdown’s infatuating and intoxicating electronic ballad of sorts on Stigma Enigma is a cry to fight against the pitfalls of mental health coverage and the consistent stigma thrown on those suffering by societal pressure and more. It’s a dark and sullen track, a haunting atmosphere that basks over you and entirely enraptures your focus. It’s a hallowingly sung tune, one that almost feels like something gothic and mythical at the same time. With a poignantly delivered message that’s ever so necessary even in 2024, Stigma Enigma is a fascinating piece of avant-garde pop music.
