She&#8217;s spent the last decade being a much sought-after life model in Ireland, posing for artists throughout the country; you can also see her on the big screen this month, in Irish comedy feature &#8216;Spa Weekend&#8217;, directed by Maureen O&#8217;Connell, to be shown during <a href=\"https:\/\/richardharrisfilmfestival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Richard Harris International Film Festival<\/a>, which runs through to the 28th.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Klara&#8217;s latest single, &#8216;Dusty Glitter&#8217;, sees her taking herself a whole lot less seriously than her previous releases, the sombre &#8216;Sinking Unknowing&#8217;, and &#8216;Wasted&#8217;. The country song features tongue-in-cheek lyrics and a playful delivery, but there&#8217;s still a certain vulnerability and sadness bubbling beneath the cheery banjo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking about the track, Klara explains,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201clyrics like I\u2019m not inclined to shine, like the gems you\u2019re used to, refer to people setting certain standards and putting conditions on who they would start a relationship with. The protagonist of the song is a wild woman who thinks she is leading a man whom she thinks is too good for her astray.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the chorus she sings,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ll take your plans, and tear them all apart\u201d, and you might be forgiven for wondering if the sentence could also stand as Klara\u2019s mission statement, applicable to anyone who thinks they\u2019re in the driver&#8217;s seat when it comes to her career.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Dusty Glitter&#8217; is out now.
