San Francisco-based singer-songwriter Clarity Liao returns with her third solo single 'Love You More', a tender and emotionally rich release that signals a new chapter in her evolving artistry. Blending soft pop with subtle R&B textures, the track captures the quiet intensity of unspoken love, offering a deeply personal glimpse into feelings left unsaid.
Having begun writing songs at just seven years old, Liao has already built an impressive foundation, gaining recognition as the principal songwriter for Navillera and earning national accolades for her compositions. Now stepping into her solo work, she leans into a more intimate and exploratory sound that prioritises emotional honesty and storytelling.
So with the new single out now, we sat down with her to find out more about her origins and what has been inspiring her most over the years.

None of the instruments were interesting to me in the beginning, my father forced me to learn to play the guitar because he doesn’t want me to fall in-love with a beginners guitarist.

I loved Katy Perry and Celine Dion. Mostly based on music video though.
What was the first album you remember owning?
Tomorrow x Together’s *Temptation* album.
What is the one song you wished you could have written yourself?
None, I will write everything, I just don’t share some.
Do you have any habits or rituals you go through when trying to write new music?
I usually only write when the sun is down.

If you could open a show for anyone in the world, who would it be?

What do you find is the most rewarding part about being a musician?
Bragging rights. And add that you have a little more taste to life.

To not care what people say because they can’t do what you can. You are the only you in the world. It’s still hard to follow it.
