  • Clairo describes the viral success that followed her video "Pretty Girl" as the “googly-eyed, deer-in-headlights," years of her career. “I was so desperate for validation in the beginning,” she told Rolling Stone in her recent cover story. "I just really wanted to be liked.” Claire Cottrill reflected on that period on "Amoeba," a gem from her new album, Sling. "'Amoeba' is essentially me scolding myself," she says in latest Breakdown video at Electric Lady Studios, accompanied by her producer Jack Antonoff.

    I'm glad Clairo is responsible for this cool intro, let's hope people recognize her for it. Because it's far too easy for most people to think that Jack is the sole person producing the thing.

    I love Sling because it’s such a mature sounding album. The complex harmonies, beautiful chord progressions, the horns, the strings, etc etc… Very much reminds me of Pet Sounds/Brian Wilson production. Clairo is really progressing well as an artist. Major props to Jack Antonoff! Looking forward to what they do in the future.

    One of the best breakdowns ever. I'd imagined a producer who brought in a team of studio musicians; now I see it was just the two, with Clairo doing most of the instrumentation and artistic direction... respect! Respect for her lyrics, vision/ear, creativity, and I love that he let her lead. They seem to have brought out the best in each other's creativity.
