Platinum-Certified Artist CLINTON KANE Releases Live Performance Video For Latest Single “STRANGER”
LOS ANGELES, CA: Platinum-certified singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Clinton Kane has unveiled a stunning live performance video for his new single, “Stranger.” Filmed in Los Angeles by Casey Pfilipsen, the video captures Kane in his rawest form — alone with his guitar, delivering the kind of emotionally charged performance that has defined his rise as one of pop’s most vulnerable voices.
“Stranger” finds Kane confronting the painful realization that someone you thought you knew has become unrecognizable. The live version strips the track down even further, highlighting the trembling honesty in his vocals and the quiet power of his songwriting.
“I wrote ‘Stranger’ in like 20 minutes after spending hours just chilling with the songwriter Sara on this—too much tea, too much coffee, way too much avo toast,” Kane says. “Sometimes the most real songs hit you quick, like they’ve been waiting to get out. This one’s about that moment when you realize someone you thought you were close to is basically a stranger. It’s not that they changed—they’ve always been like this, you just finally see it for what it is.”
The live video amplifies the song’s themes of disconnection and clarity — pairing Kane’s raw vocal delivery with a haunting live string accompaniment. The minimalist setup feels both intimate and expansive, offering another glimpse into his independent creative era defined by self-production, honesty, and emotional fearlessness.
“This one’s been sitting with me since 2021, and it just felt like now was the right time to share it,” Kane adds. “I don’t want to tell people how to feel when they hear it—just that they feel something. Sometimes life’s so heavy it’s hard to feel anything at all, so if this song makes someone cry, scream, or just process whatever’s on their chest, then I’ve done what I wanted to do.”
Hailed for his emotionally urgent songwriting and soul-stirring vocals, Clinton Kane has built a global audience in the millions with Platinum and Gold-certified hits like “I GUESS I’M IN LOVE” and “CHICKEN TENDIES.” With Stranger, he reclaims his artistic independence—delivering a song that feels less like a statement and more like a confession.
As Rolling Stone Australia noted, “Clinton Kane has attracted an international audience in the many hundreds of thousands, drawn in by his emotionally urgent songwriting.”
Ones To Watch praised his “consistent natural talent” and “tenderness of voice that sounds like he’s always singing from the inner depths of his soul.”
With billions of streams, sold-out global tours, and a reputation for music that feels lived rather than written, Kane’s new independent era promises to deepen his bond with fans who see themselves in his stories of heartbreak, resilience, and self-discovery.
