New lil essay on an artist that is absolutely killlllling it right now. Clairo is incredibly talented and I don't know if I've ever seen a musician that matches her level of authenticity. (P.S. my New England accent really throws that "CLAH-RO" in this video a little bit lol)
regardless where she came from she’s still hella talented and just a sweet person in general, chill
I thought she was in middle or high school. She doesn't look like a college student.
lmao I could see high school but MIDDLE SCHOOL???!?!?
Peanut Butter Pikachu I thought she was 14 I'm shook
Peanut Butter Pikachu Hh
Ye I thought she was 13
Did you know clairo’s dad is actually an influential marketing executive who has had a direct impact on her exposure in the music industry? (He has fader connections etc.) This isn’t meant to downplay clairo’s talent in any way though. Im a big fan and I will continue to listen to her music. It just rubs me the wrong way that she isn’t actually being transparent about all the forces that got her to where she is.
Thank you for a less aggressive approach lol. So, the answer is no. When I made this, I had no idea about that and found out soon after. Now I've gotten 10+ comments being like, "SHE'S A FAKE! SHE IS WORTHLESS! KILL HER". And it's sketchy for sure, but I don't know how that would effect her UA-cam videos, which were a major talking point of this^^^^^video. Idk it's weird, for sure, but like you, I'm still a fan
people always need to hate, smh
Rocky Kastro you think having a connection at FADER is a big deal lol? Jesus Christ bro fader doesn't pop an artist
music is still music, guys. how bout we all just appreciate the music created and just set aside those "shes an industry plant" bullshit. musicians have their ways differently and at the end of the day, all musicians just want their music to be heard, appreciated, and unite people. so lets all be chill, and enjoy the music, can we?
YES FINALLY!!! GET THIS TO THE TOP
Make a video on Steve Lacy.
Not enough subs. Amazing vid, glad to see we have similar tastes
Thanks dude! Love your videos too!
Two of my favorite video essay creators!
Bruh I have just watched 5 videos in a row that you have commented on, your fucking everywhere.
Why it feels like I'm watching one of *Vox* videos..
you should watch kaptainkristian
I don't know how but my feed has been fed with these low subscribe count youtubers making video essays that are hundreds of times better than channels with well over a million subs. Thank you!
Vulnerability really is what gets to us. Than factor in humility, compassion, and emotional intelligence !!! Triple threat.
I found her through her song bubblegum on SoundCloud, loved her ever since then
Apparently I’ve been saying her name wrong like I thought it was Claire-io
Clairo has big music industry links in her family she's not just some random young talent.
and she’s open about it. so what if she got links? lmao.
Oh no, person working in extremely exploitative industry signs with company she knows and her father works for, so she can feel safe. 10/10 industry plant :0
@@Oscar__Davison I have no problem with her using her links to promote her music, but so much of her appeal comes from the false idea she came up organically. That's especially proven in this video.
Will Hush i think everyone who is a fan of clairo knows she had connections and people who just like to listen to her don’t care about her background, but that’s just how i think.
@@okaythen4974 there's nothing wrong with that at all of course, I just don't agree when people pretend she had a more organic background because it's her aesthetic.
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS IT MAKES ME HAPPY
Your passion really comes through with this video. Great job!
thank you!!
Hey Alfo. When I hit about 10 years old, my uncle introduced me to daft punk, and I fell in love with music. I’m 21 now, and honestly, I haven’t been scouring the internet and staying up to date with the newest music. I haven’t been listening to much at all.
Videos like this reignite the fire that is discovering new music in my heart. You are helping me rediscover a healing passion of mine in a very transformative and alien time in life. So thanks.
"Humble" beginnings. She seems great but lets be real. She couldn't have had an easier start.
Really loved the editing on this one!
thank you!!
lmao, if you think she's "authentic" you should look into who her dad is and her connections. I like her, but she's not as transparent as you think.
Dennis U But I guess she found her audience even tho the fader video and all are pretty shady. Idk.
Yeah I thought the guy was gonna talk about that
Who cares?
You can tell shes DIY. Fuck whoever her family is
angela g Yeah I don't get that. If you have no talent, all the $ and connections in the world will still get you nowhere. Well, in the music world anyway. "Reality" TV is a different animal. Also her dad is no music marketing guru. He worked for soda companies, Starbucks, and Converse. Not the same. At best he could have maybe helped get in a door or two, but then you still have to not suck or you'll never get anywhere. The irony though is she has videos going back to when she was a kid online, she's been at it for nearly a decade and by no means "blew up out of nowhere" like all of these morons think just because they read a wiki page and saw "marketing".
Awesome work bro!
thank you! appreciate it
I love her so much
love ur essays dude!! u've got great taste & interesting things to say. also maybe silly to even point out but thx for not commenting on her appearance!! there's rly so much of that still going on in the music industry (& lots of others) and im just ready for ppl to stop doing it to everyone, of whatever gender. so thx for keeping that trend going in the right direction! again maybe silly, but means a lot.
Her comments on Instagram/Twitter are disgusting. Do I think she's gorgeous? Yes. Does that have anything to do with her being a great musician? No. She's a college student that has to deal with hundreds of creeps sexualizing everything she does on a daily basis and I really feel for her. Everybody be nice and respect people
ugh u are the best! keep doing what u do
and now I’m here having one week left until her concert!!
long live brockhampton
I truly love all the videos that I have seen though
Claire makes so beautiful music istg
Make a video of Dean Entwistle, he's a SC and Bandcamp artist with some rare but cool Low-Fi music
I feel like people can get just ride by on authenticity when they are super young, but if she was 30/40, people would be like "wtf is this?"
Lmao she has no “humble beginnings”.
ikr her daddy was already rich
This video works really well as an example for explaining to someone how much music effects mood...Clairo has different eras in her career that represent separate sub-genres...during the "Bedroom Pop" trend she made some of the best stuff...and it sounded so Indie, we all believed it was...
If she wasn't pretty it'd be a different story...
Josefa Vlogs EXACTLY
Ikr
Mac Demarco is ugly as shit and he got famous. With the internet talented people who keep making shit are gonna find success
Barry B Benson Men are "allowed to be ugly" sadly
Shut yo ugly ass up
If your lonely, in love, or just sad these tracks hit💕
I clicked so quick when I read Clairo’s name lmao I love your video essays!
thank you!!
Duet is magical.
FOUND MY NEW FAV CHANNEL WOW THANK U
THANK U
This channel deserves more subscribers it’s such a good outlet for in-depth essays on fantastic music artists it’s one of my favorite channels on UA-cam
Can you do a video essay on Mac Demarco?
probably at some point! love Mac
i feel like you're just in love with her bro. You probably look at Clairo and think "damn, I would love to date her" and that's ok. but i think it creates a bias when you look at her music and authenticity
Couldn’t agree more, I got that vibe from him
nah this is literally all of his videos
name nah they just say that for any attractive artist
@@thomaszhang5437 Nah bro OBVIOUSLY he's just in love with everyone he talks about
@@thomaszhang5437 he makes videos about artists he is in love with and thinks deserve more exposure. So of cause "he's just in love with everyone he talks about" since he only makes videos of artists *IF* he likes them. This is literally by choice, use your brain.
I hope you continue growing 💕
thank you sm!
Your so under rated and i have the sam taste in music in the intro Rex Gus I’m subbing
you absolutely made my day. it's great to see people appreciating clairo and giving her the attention she deserves
I fell inlove with her on her song bubblegum
thank you
thank YOU
Found her through mellow fellow. He's the bomb
clairo be like *INDUSTRY PLANT NOISES*
My stomach hurts, you are doing well keep going
Authentic? Lmao. Okay. If you say so. I'm not making any statements claiming to know everything, but as someone who loves her music she's pretty surface level. Authenticity is a term I'd use for BROCKHAMPTON. But at the end of the day I take a Vince Staples approach "What if it's all fake? How could you actually know?" The internet in particular has brought an age where image is so constructed that I'd argue most everyone isn't really authentic. But Clairo in particular,, she's just a girl making songs about love mostly, a concept that her teenage self explores with as much depth as Taylor Swift. Like I guess if she truly is that basic in real life, which could very well be possible, she is authentic technically but I don't get how that's so worthwhile lol. It seems the extent of her depth is how "Authentic" she is but like there's thousands of teens on UA-cam recording themselves in their bedroom, I don't see how she s special really
Carson Eastman bring this comment to light. We need both sides to the argument
You're not even talking about being authentic, you're talking about being rare and special. What if she is being herself and a lot of other girls are like her? You don't have to be special to be authentic, the two aren't related at all. But I do question how she blew up so quick and her singing live looked like someone who can't believe she finessed her way this far, or she could've been nervous idk.
tired Someone didn't read my full comment
tired her dad works in media or something and has worked with like coca cola... not sure if the company’s true or whatever but im sure hes had an influence in her success seeing hes had such a big career in distribution/advertisement
I get your point, but I would argue she is actually authentic... for example in "pretty girl" the video is quite unique wouldn't u say ? a video shot in her room with just her dancing around plus her singing style itself is a major part of why I would call her authentic. the dreamy laid-back almost sleepy singing voice is one i haven't heard before tbh so i can say she is authentic in some ways or maybe you could say "pretty girl" is authentic
❤️❤️
I recently just discovered her and j already love her
okay claire has industry connections. but if she wasn’t talented no one would’ve cared about her and she wouldn’t have become successful.
YESSS
“Pretty Girl” is how I feel every time I go on a Tinder date.
great analysis!
thanks! appreciate it
what's the name of the instrumental playing in the background?
also great content. keep doing your thing!
I feel like it's not that deep, but you made it deep.
💗💗💗
great vid man ur gonna be huge one day just like the artists u cover keep it up
:') appreciate you
Okay young Lady ! You just hooked me to your music , I've listened too every song I can find , it's so hypnotic I can't stop listening to you now I guess thst s a good thing right , just please don't change a thing please dear !! Okay I'm out going listen to more now... 😨🎶🎙🎼🎸
How to be famous
1)be rich
2)be attractive
3)talent? (Just hire people to make things for you)
sad but true, it's an unfair world
Good vid! I feel a trend (in the best way) coming along where people want to support people who are authentic and inspiring. I think she has an incredible voice and I noticed you didn't mention that. You would think that was the most important thing about her but it isn't. I think everyone has talent but they're afraid to follow it. People like Clairo inspire us to not be afraid to be more of ourselves and follow our passion and our dreams.
Jesus so many salty people in this comments section.
you've gained yourself a fan! im pretty fond of video essays, and your taste and style completely buys me. you should totally do a Q&A.
thanks! appreciate it. and lol maybe someday! not sure many people are too interested in who I am right now
Wtf I pronounced it like you would with Cairo, Egypt. (kl-ay-ro)
trust me I wasn't too sure either lol. Her name being "Claire" helped a lot
RIP DIO
I always said "Clair-ee-oh" haha
Same
CheesecakeLasagna
you pronounce Cairo like kai-row tho????
Love her
DO ONE ON BOY PABLO
VanAxe YES
grossss
Definitely
I hope she sees this king
I know alot of people are aggressive about this but I honestly think theres a good reason to be angry towards an artist that fakes their entire persona, music, and marketing to succeed as well as have dad pay for multiple interviews, paid press, and even paid lineup spots. Clairo is alright as a musician but to act like she isn't producing her tracks in a studio with 4 producer/writers helping her to make her, "diy indie music" is such a farce. She's just another semi-attractive rich kid with average music thats a walking marketing plan. Theres nothing "crazy" or "interesting" or "DIY" past that. that's what makes her a piece of shit to those who have had to do it all by themselves with nothing more then their own intuition, risks, and skills. She's defacing the brick building approach an acting like she's worked hard. It's utter bullshit, and i I hope her shiftiness blows up in her face.
Mr.Wobbles hell yeah!!!! Mr wobbles!! Love your videos dude it's cool too see you here! ^~^
I completely agree about everything you said
I think I was always salty about her becoming popular because there is other bedroom pop bands that I think deserves it more.
Mr.Wobbles There's nothing fake about it though. For one, she has videos going back like half a decade under a handful of names. They hardly have any hits or plays on Sound cloud. She by no means "blew up out of nowhere" as ppl are suggesting because they just now heard of her. 2nd, her dad wasn't a music industry guy. He worked for soda companies, Starbucks and Converse shoes promoting physical products. 3rd, I've never once seen or heard her try to claim anything people say about her (still small) rise. It's like they just make shit up and decide it's fact, then decide she betrayed them on it. It's insane!
Beastly G she still isn't bedroom pop lmao
Well , as well as what her dad is, and what her music is based on, although it might not be diy
I still enjoy her music
I didn’t discover her at the blowup
I was at the point in time in my life where I felt like utter shit and I came across bubblegum by her transmitted from another channel.
Her child like voice soothed me and I hold her dear for that and she’s trying y know.
As much as I don’t like it at all when my artists are discovered suddenly and now everyone knows them.
Kudos to them, we just have to see where they head towards.
I love Clairo she’s beautiful
I used to hate her music and now I'm addicted to it
Great content dude. Been waiting on videos about Clairo. I subscribed by the way ;)
Yee
wow you are just milking TF out of her without realizing her connections
I feel like there are a lot of people negatively commenting on her style of music. Bedroom Pop like this is my absolute fav. It may not sound super intricate or have the most challenging lyrics, but i think theres a lot of heart in it. Even if her dad is some big shot, the music is still cute and enjoyable which is all that matters.
We're not sure if cairo actually made them🤷♂️
That jakehill beat in the beginning tho
Bedroom pop...i think studio pop. We all know she used top tier equiptment. And didnt start from her bedroom. Or the bottom. Shes good though i suppose. I just wish she was more real with where she came from so it doesnt give other aspiring artists false hope.
Be yourself like clairo
Great video
so strange. i found her song 'bubblegum' at random in 2016 when i was getting into lofi. this is cool as fuck shes famous now. go clairo!
holy shit....
Did I just see
Gus Dapperton?
O_O
Wow imagine building yourself up from the ground up and everyone attacking you because your dad has a job.
fuck yes banes world
a case of corporate abusing a whole marketing demographic just as usual
lmao industry plant
you said she has a song with bearface - where can I find that?
Can you do a review on Kaiit or music by artist like Xiuhtezcatl Martinez who are activist but have started to have some powerful ideas for change in the world and for music as a whole. And maybe have something on different r&b artists too who push more on breaking music borders
Clairo flamin cheeto fire 🔥🔥
Gus Dapperton!!!! PogChamp
What is industry plant? I dont get it.
I discovered Clairo last year and I wasn't really too sure of her age because she looks super young in her cover pics. Like in Bubblegum, she looked like a 13 year old 😂
You may wanna check out gang of youths, there’s a hell of a good story to learn there with passionate music that has important messages for today’s world
I just looked up clairo and bearface and cant find anything besides her waste cover. Can someone give me the name of said song with bearface?
still unreleased lol
What’s the song with bearface called?
I clicked on this right away lol
ooof tru
Yellow Days & Clairo are the only two artists in this new wave of solo groups (if that makes sense) that just don't pull their weight, BOY PABLO WILL LIVE FOREVER
Rex & Gus ❤
Who was the artist at 0:14?
Yay bedroom pop ❤️ yay clairo ❤️ to be honest a part of me wishes this genre wasn’t getting so popular but at the same time I’m happy clairo and other artists like her are getting the recognition they deserve
"bedroom pop"? "they" deserve? She's not, she's a plant by her dad and his music industry friends. "Pretty Girl" was blatantly at least mastered in the Converse music studio her dad helps run. Bedroom pop my ass.
PHat in a hat well whether her dads company helped or not, her Music is still amazing. You could criticize many people for starting off with help and connections but you don’t because they are talented people, i love her voice that’s not something her dad made for her. Also yes, it’s called bedroom pop, that’s just the genre of music - you look on Spotify at the bedroom pop playlist and the cover is Literally her face. Would you call Selina Gomez not a pop singer because she had connections when she begun her career? No cuz it’s just the genre that’s it. I know of this whole controversy and i agree she should be more transparent with her fans but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have talent and it doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve recognition, if anything it’s great that she’s getting the help that a lot of people wish they could get
She's pop, but she ain't really bedroom. Probably a connection of her dad's got her that Spotify placing as well. She's an industry plant pretending to have DIY, made it on my own beginnings - there are thousands of girls uploding vids of themselves singing pop songs in their bedrooms who are genuinely trying to make it by themselves and being brave by taking a jump in to the unknown; actual bedroom pop wouldn't have industry backing and studio help from the get go. If anything it's NOT great that she's getting the help that a lot of people wish they could get, because she's taking resources away from those people who had been doing the same thing on more genuine terms - i.e. that she is already somehow the poster girl for "bedroom pop" is a joke, it's like making Drake the poster boy for a "gangster rap" playlist...
PHat in a hat alright well I suppose her being a bedroom pop artist is just a matter of opinion. To me, she has the lofi sound most other bedroom pop songs do, and works with many other artists known in the community such as mellow fellow. I consider bedroom pop as the song itself rather than the artist and what they have done but i get your point that the idea of bedroom pop is for it to be raw and unprofessional. What i do feel however is that bedroom pop is really the only genre where this is criticized that much, we never judge people on the radio for having connections and becoming famous because of this and if we do well i guess i don’t care so i just don’t hear of it lol, I’m worried that people will come down too hard on clairo in a way they don’t with other singers when she is genuinely talented. I guess if you look at bedroom pop as the process as well as the sound it’s unfair for her to label herself as a bedroom pop artist but the bottom line for me personally is that there’s something unique about her voice that i appreciate and want to celebrate.
fine, if you still like her, though truly raw, unedited and unprofessional she really is poor: ua-cam.com/video/HS2X3ojCEn8/v-deo.html
And as I say, it's not just bedroom pop which gets the same kind of stick, rappers get regularly hated on if they pretend to be ghetto or gangster when they've had a comfortable upbringing.
dude you are the patricians king lol
