Klein has issued a new 12-piece ambient-classical suite today, expanding the London artist’s shift into orchestral and cinematic textures. The release, issued on her Parkwuud Entertainment label, arrives with a new video for the album’s ghostly centerpiece, Man in the Mirror.
The record recasts fairy-tale sounds through a darker, more atmospheric lens, leaning heavily on instrumental passages and orchestral drama. Across the album, Klein blends spectral ambience, tense classical writing and the abrasive guitar textures that marked her 2025 LP, Sleep With a Cane, producing something that sits between a soundtrack and a solo composition collection.
One of the record’s most notable contributions comes from violinist and composer Sasha Scott, who co-wrote and arranged the track “Siren Reloaded” for performance with the London Sinfonietta. That collaboration is the only featured credit on an otherwise largely solitary project.
Earlier this year Klein released a stream of standalone singles—several of which are collected on this release—and teamed with Mica Levi for a YouTube-only joint EP, Turn Up. Those moves underline a rapid creative period that now includes this full-length exploration of mood and form.
The practical impact for listeners: the album favors atmosphere over hooks, and it positions Klein as a composer who could increasingly be heard beyond traditional song formats, in film, contemporary classical programming or experimental soundtracks.

The video for Man in the Mirror frames the album’s eerie, cinematic spirit and accompanies the release across streaming platforms. For listeners tracking contemporary intersections of experimental pop and modern classical composition, this record is a clear signal of Klein’s evolving palette—and of how artists are increasingly blurring genre lines to produce work that functions as both album and score.
