Bom dia, clara eu sou seu fã desde o cover da música nothing on you, quero dizer que de diversos artistas da música que eu gostaria de conhecer você seria uma das primeiras mesmo não falando inglês atualmente.
Gosto muito da sua simplicidade e do seu jeito descontraído nós clipes mesmo não entendo quase nada das letras adoro sua voz e bem confortante, espero que você cresça ainda mais e quem sabe um dia tenho a chance de conhecê-la pessoalmente seria para mim gratificante ver e ouvir sua voz que para mim soa perfeito.
