Ciamara Bernard is unapologetically grounded. In a landscape filled with hyper-curated, anxious personas, the London-born singer’s zen aura is a refreshing departure. Stepping into the modern music scene with her lush new single, “Best Of Your Love,” she remains utterly unbothered by the industry whirlwind.
While she might technically be the new kid on the block, having officially penned her own music for just two years, her sonic blueprint spans decades. Armed with a voice that feels both urgent and timeless, she is ready to shut it down in an industry that’s begging for a return to raw, unfiltered talent.
The Masters of the Craft
You can tell a lot about an artist by their heavy rotation. When asked about the vocalists who shaped her ear, the list reads like a masterclass in Pop and R&B royalty: Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Joe. These are the GOATs; the ones who laid the groundwork for runs, rhythms, and heartbreak anthems.
But there is one icon who holds the most real estate in her creative mind: the late, great George Michael.
“George Michael inspired me to sing when I was growing up,” she notes, with a nostalgic warmth bleeding into her aesthetic. “I remember listening to all of his songs and albums. That’s one of the reasons I did ‘Best Of Your Love’.”
A Lesson in Rebellion and Romance
For the Londoner, George Michael was far more than just a pop star; he was a blueprint for vulnerability and quiet rebellion. Her latest track, “Best Of Your Love,” leans deeply into that exact sentiment. “Best Of Your Love” reminded me of George Michael singing about love and affection,” she explains.
But the inspiration goes far beyond the studio booth. It’s also about the harsh politics of being an artist. “Him speaking out against the industry was one of the things that made more people speak out against the music industry,” she notes.
That discernment, knowing when to pour your heart out into a love song and when to stand your ground against the machine is a double lesson she is taking into her own burgeoning career. She isn’t just trying to make quick bops for TikTok; she is paying attention to the legacy of the artists who fought for their creative freedom.
Keeping It Par for the Course
So, what happens when the mic is off and the studio sessions end? The answer is surprisingly, and beautifully, mundane. The same artist who spends hours dissecting Whitney Houston’s vocal technique and George Michael’s industry politics is just as happy spending the weekend in a completely different zone.
“I like to go out and play golf and listen to music,” she shares casually. And when she isn’t out on the green or curating a playlist, she is firmly anchored by family. “I spend most of my time helping out my dad with the house.”
In an era where new artists are pressured to be switched on 24/7, Ciamara Bernard is intentionally pacing herself. She is a true student of the genre, grounded by family, and armed with a killer golf swing. The seeds have only been planted for two years, but trust me, you can already tell she is starting to bloom. Period.
