CNA938 Rewind - Claire Javier – the singer-songwriter with ties to SG & The Philippines

In ‘Culture Club’, Melanie Oliveiro speaks with Claire Javier, a rising indie-pop singer-songwriter who’ll talk about her music — in particular the new single, “Easy”.  Javier will recall how she composed “Easy” — a dreamy, tongue-in-cheek track that describes the surreal dream of a past fling.
