Alt-R&B Artist Forest Claudette Unveils Combined EP “Jupiter & Stone Between”
Forest Claudette, a rising alt-pop/R&B artist, is known for their ability to blend intimate themes with a boundary-pushing sound. With the release of “Jupiter & Stone Between”, Forest Claudette brings together two critically acclaimed 2024 EPs into one expansive, genre-defying project.

The essence of “Jupiter” revolves around identity and empowerment, creating a haven for non-binary individuals. It’s a place where everyone can feel they belong. The EP’s four tracks document Claudette’s journey, reflecting thoughts on growth, belonging, and the trials of self-discovery. Meanwhile, “& Stone Between” takes the narrative further with love, life, and the complexities that arise from navigating the world as your true self. Together, these two EPs create a unified experience that feels both personal and universal.
The single “Big Wigs,” which bridges the two EPs, is a standout with its funky guitar riffs and rhythmic flow, it perfectly represents the blending of “Jupiter & Stone Between”. But Claudette didn’t stop there. To celebrate the release, they debuted a pioneering video for “Big Wigs” using cutting-edge volumetric technology from Arcturus. This immersive 360-degree viewing experience allows fans to step into the performance, redefining what it means to experience music videos in the digital age.
Claudette’s influence is undeniable. From supporting Omar Apollo on tour to winning ARIA awards, their rise in the music scene is well-deserved. Their ability to mix soulful R&B with a contemporary pop twist, all while addressing intimate and powerful themes, marks them as one to watch.
With “Jupiter & Stone Between”, Claudette has created more than just an album—it’s a journey of self-discovery, a tribute to finding home within oneself, and a beacon of hope for those navigating the complexities of identity. This release solidifies Forest Claudette as a trailblazer in the alt-R&B world, offering a unique sound and perspective that feels both fresh and timeless.
