More about: Clairo

Clairo announces her second album, Sling today with the single 'Blouse'. Written and recorded in up-state New York, Sling has been produced by both Clairo and the legendary Jack Antonoff. Citing her dog, Joanie, as a huge source of inspiration for the record, Sling arrives 16 July.

As well as the album announcement, Clairo has shared the first single off the album, the dulcet ‘Blouse’ displays a drastic change to Clairo’s sound. She sounds older now, more assured and established. A primarily acoustic track, its sections are broken up by stunning violin solo’s, poised and near-perfect.

 On the record, Clairo has said:

“Joanie, my dog, opened up my world in ways I didn’t think were capable. By caring for her, it forced me to face my own thoughts about parenthood and what it would mean to me. stories as lessons, regrets as remorse.. thinking about something/someone before yourself. It’s a glimpse into a world where I found that domesticity is what I was missing”

Sling arrives 16 July via Polydor Records. Pre-order it here.
