The upcoming European tour will be an opportunity for fans to experience Coco & Clair Clair’s music in an intimate setting, promising unforgettable on-stage presence, bold fashion and celebration of all things “Girl”.
“Girl” came together after both Coco and Clair had experiences of touring around the country and falling in love. The new album sees the Atlanta duo embracing a broad range of sonic landscapes, taking more risks through their sound and honest lyrics and embracing their vulnerability. Speaking on focus single “My Girl,”Coco and Clair share, “My Girl is an ode to your best friend, the girls you meet in the bathroom at the club, your idol, whoever it is that makes you feel on top of the world and like nobody can fuck with you. We're not worrying about other people anymore, let's go out, have fun, and let the beat rock.”
After experiencing the soft glow of new romantic relationships. They leaned into these varied emotional experiences and wrote songs that were newly intimate without sacrificing their sense of charisma and verve. The songs came together quickly, in a matter of weeks. Once they had them ready, they traveled between Amsterdam and Joshua Tree to work on production in collaboration with Raven Artson. They would cook together, lay out in the sun, drive around town, and then start making drinks at 4 or 5 pm and get to work. During this time, Coco and Clair pushed themselves to take more risks - there’s a rock song on the album, a number of old beats Coco had made years ago, and the lyricism is their most vulnerable yet. This process helped them actualize their ideas and there’s a sense of intentionality and confidence to the resulting songs. The production is lusher and more vibrant while remaining eclectic and immediate. Ultimately with Girl, Coco and Clair have mastered sitting comfortably with their vulnerability.
The new project follows their previous critically acclaimed album SEXY, which NPR described as "gorgeous" and Pitchfork proclaimed as "leagues above everyone around them." The album featured celebrated singles “Love Me”, "Cherub" and “Pop Star.” Coco & Clair Clair also released SEXY (Deluxe Edition), which included "The Hills (feat. DEELA)" remixed by George Daniel of the 1975, "Pop Star" reimagined by Chaeyoung from the KPop sensation TWICE, and an Empress Of remix of "Cherub" as well as remixes from Lewis OfMan, Homeshake, Clip, Niko B, and more.
