After signing with Icons Creating Evil Art in 2015, Flora Cash earned nominations for Swedish Artist and Newcomer of the Year. Their full-length debut, Nothing Lasts Forever (And It’s Fine), was released in April 2017.

I wanted the listener to feel that soothing, comforting, warm feeling on a summer’s day – laying on a beach or by a pool, sipping cold iced tea. Even if you can’t physically experience that, I wanted the song to still offer that feeling to you, to bring you some sunshine!”

Clark’s musical kicked off when Sir Richard Branson spontaneously requested her to perform while she was at the BBC Radio 1 Academy.
