Celeste is the fourth face of CLASH 133. The lauded BRIT Award-winning songwriter scored vast success with her debut album, but commercial pressures are the furthest thing from Celeste’s mind. A true artist drawn to heroines of the past, new album ‘Woman Of Faces’ found this London-based voice eschewing expectations, and digging down for a deeper truth. Speaking to CLASH ahead of our strikingly intimate shoot, Celeste opens up as never before. A conversation that moves from her deep creative roots to the contents of her book shelves, the UK alt-soul aesthete gets frank about her singular desire to embrace free expression. As she puts it: “There’s art that exists within systems, and then there’s the free path. That one’s harder.” Pre-order your copy now.
