Vance Joy put out "Clarity" through Liberation Music in 2022 as the third single from In Our Own Sweet Time, his third album, and it was built at a distance: according to a press release, the Australian singer-songwriter wrote it with Joel Little over Zoom, shortly after a Halloween party. NME's Ellie Robinson heard it add real depth to the folky indie pop of his earlier records, with deep bass grooves, understated but punchy drums and a soaring horn section under his easygoing acoustic strumming.
The industry at home took note. The 2022 ARIA Music Awards put it up for Song of the Year and Best Pop Release, and at the 2023 APRA Music Awards it made the Song of the Year shortlist and picked up two nominations for most performed work, one Australian, one pop.
