Clara Moschetta Brings Honest Storytelling to the Table on Her Debut EP

There’s something quietly revolutionary about Clara Moschetta’s music. It doesn’t scream for your attention—it sits you down, looks you in the eye, and invites you into a conversation you didn’t know you needed. On September 17, 2025, the Italian-French artist will release her debut EP Worthy Conversations around a Kitchen Table, a five-track journey into themes that are as personal as they are universal: body image, regret, identity, politics, and the messy beauty of being human.

The lead single “TV” has already started striking chords with listeners online, tackling body dysmorphia and the long, uneven road of recovery. Clara paired the release with a grassroots TikTok campaign, turning the song into a touchpoint for people to share their own stories. It’s just one example of how Clara blurs the line between art and community. She doesn’t just want you to listen, she wants you to talk back.

That mission spills beyond the music. Her Artist Conversations Series on social media opens space for dialogue with fans, while her moving “Father Never Tells Me” Project invites strangers to anonymously submit the words they wish they could hear from their dads. It’s vulnerable, raw, and often heartbreaking, but also deeply healing.

Musically, the EP unfolds like a film score you stumbled into by accident. Tracks like “Cut Up Fruit” and “Water Safer Than Land” begin with softness, piano, gentle tones, Clara’s unguarded voice, before giving way to more layered indie textures as the record unfolds. By the time “Regret” and “TV” land, the instrumentation swells, tempos quicken, and Clara takes us into a space that’s more restless, more alive, but still threaded with intimacy. The result is an EP that feels like one continuous conversation, sometimes whispered, sometimes shouted, but always worth staying for.

Her live shows reflect that same spirit. Whether it’s just Clara and a piano or the full band bringing her arrangements to life, audiences leave feeling moved, seen, and connected. And if you’re in London, you’ll get to experience that first-hand: Clara will celebrate the release with a special performance on September 18 at SJQ, a night that promises to be as unfiltered and transformative as the EP itself.

“Worthy Conversations around a Kitchen Table” is exactly that—worthy. It’s a debut that doesn’t just showcase Clara Moschetta’s emotional honesty and delicate musicality, but also her ability to create community through vulnerability. Sometimes the best records don’t just give you melodies to hum, they leave you with something to talk about long after the last note fades.

1. The title of your EP, Worthy Conversations around a Kitchen Table, feels so intimate. What was the inspiration behind framing your debut project around the idea of a kitchen table conversation?

I’m the youngest of 4 from a large and extended French/Italian family. It only felt right to find something deeply personal to connect with for my debut EP. Kitchen tables and meal times are intrinsic to my family dynamic - we have debates, conversations, admissions of feelings all around one focal point - food. Considering this body of work covers a range of topics, the kitchen table ties it all together. 

2. Your lead single “TV” touches on body dysmorphia and recovery. What made you feel ready to share something so personal in your debut, and how has the response from listeners impacted you so far?

Sometimes songs sit with you for a prolonged period of time waiting for their turn to shine. Originally, TV was a heartbreaking ballad but as time went on and my personal journey with my body evolved, I kept writing new lyrics. I find, with songs as deeply personal as ‘TV’, you need someone else to coax them out of you and Jen did exactly that. I brought her a very unfiltered version and together, we completed the song. Many of the comments I’ve received have been on the juxtaposition of the joyful instrumentation versus the incredibly complex and at times, upsetting lyrics. But ‘TV’ is tongue-in-cheek, it’s self-aware, it gently pokes fun at itself, especially in the bridge. When I was at my lowest weight, I was deeply unhappy. I remember asking myself ‘now that you got what you wanted, was it worth it?’ And the answer was so clearly no. It’s bittersweet to write something that so many people relate to, especially pertaining to such an unhappy period of my time - but really, it’s a song about talking to yourself. Saying to your own body, ‘can’t you love me?’ - and facing up to that. It’s so very joyful to play with the band live and that is the gift of recovery. 

3. Alongside the music, you’ve launched projects like the Artist Conversations Series and the “Father Never Tells Me” Project. Why is it so important for you to build dialogue around your art, rather than just release songs into the world?

I wanted to build something outside of the music that connects us all. We all have people that we’ve cut contact with for various reasons and community ties us all together at the end of the day. You can only learn so much in isolation. I want to inspire people to have these difficult but worthy conversations with one another. It’s how we learn about ourselves and our loved ones the most. The more vulnerable we are, the more we grow. 

4. The EP’s tracklist flows almost like one continuous story, with each song adding another layer. When you were writing and arranging the project, did you intentionally structure it like a conversation or did that come naturally?

The tracklist was a strong worry of mine so thank you for such kind words. The songs were all written before the concept of the EP (except TV which was such a joyful addition). My parents were fanatics of La Chanson Française. Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, Edith Piaf - I grew up with lyrics that moved you, questioned you, made you  reflect. I wanted my debut EP to be representative of what I felt compelled to as a young girl. There was plenty of planning that came with the EP structure - my live shows are notorious for being ‘emotional rollercoasters’ in 3 acts. The first, the emotive, the second, the reflective and the final, the catharsis. The EP is emblematic of that. 

5. You’ll be celebrating the release with a live show in London on September 18. How do you translate the intimacy of such personal songs to the stage, and what do you hope people walk away feeling after hearing these songs live?

I won’t lie, it can be challenging to perform such vulnerable material live. Especially the more thought-provoking songs like ‘Water Safer than Land’ or ‘Cut Up Fruit’ - both are so emotionally charged. The 3-part act isn’t just for the audience to ride the emotional wave but for the band and I. It gives us a joyful release too. I’m really lucky that my audiences are along for the ride. They often come out feeling energised by the final act but with lingering questions from the earlier songs. I’ve made little cards with open-ended questions for the audience to partake in. Questions like ‘how do you feel about getting older’ and ‘when did you last cry, why?’ As long as people come out of the room reflecting, that’s the best outcome I can ask for.
