Clairo
American indie luminary Clairo has spent the past decade reshaping modern pop through intimate songwriting that draws on soft rock, ‘70s soul and understated R&B. Born Claire Cottrill in Atlanta, she began self-recording music as a teenager, breaking through in 2017 with the viral “Pretty Girl” before releasing the critically acclaimed albums Immunity (2019) and Sling (2021), created with Rostam Batmanglij and Jack Antonoff respectively. Her GRAMMY-nominated third album Charm, produced with Leon Michels, marks her most assured era yet—cementing Clairo as a quietly influential artist whose work prioritises emotional clarity, restraint and lasting cultural impact.
