Take a pop jaunt with Jason Klaire’s latest eccentrically liberated and razor-sharp single, Taking a Piece of the Pie. Klaire took what started as a silly inside joke about desserts and transfigured it into a kaleidoscopic satire on greed and the sickening wealth divide, without ever weighing the listener down in rhetoric. Instead, the message cuts through in a fever dream of psychedelic wit, laced with sticky-sweet hooks and melodies that are silly in all the right places. What Klaire serves up here is less of a pie and more of a layered trifle of sound. Playful vocal exchanges between the thief, the owner, and the officer fold into a confection of buoyant basslines, driven percussion, and candy-coated polyphony that shimmers with parable and parody alike.
