Break the Mold: A Song Born from Resilience by Lexi Saldana

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Claire Larose releases emotionally-driven track, Break The Mold.’ The folk, indie-pop song draws directly from Larose's lifelong struggle with chronic illness caused by mold exposure; hence, using the concept of "breaking the mold" both metaphorically and literally. Co-writers 'Maddie Lenhart' and 'Brianna Nelson'—both of whom produced the track—aid in the exploration of the themes of generational trauma, resilience, and the invisible battles that shape one's identity and being. Clare Larose's vocals are raw and authentic, pushing forward her story and her battles. 'Break The Mold' is not just a song but rather a reclamation of voice, health, and self, offering listeners a deeply personal glimpse into healing through music and a beacon of hope to those who relate.
