Cautious Clay explores love and emotion with style, dignity and grace on Deadpan Love
Soothing to the extreme, but still with enough variation not to lose attention, he’s on to a winner.
As the musician known as Cautious Clay watched his profile rise with "Cold War" -- a song that gained traction on SoundCloud in 2017, played in a 2018 episode of Insecure, and in 2019 was sampled by Taylor Swift for "London Boy" -- he carried on with baking music rather than microwaving it.
