Built Like A Vape Pen with Coco & Clair Clair
Manage episode 509240270 series 3665084
Atlanta-based musical duo Coco & Clair Clair crack open a bottle of wine with Devon on the pod this week as they decode a Winnie the Pooh reference in a Young Thug song, discuss some suspect behavior on Facebook, and dive into the lore of Claire’s face showing up on Playboi Carti’s lockscreen.
Coco & Clair Clair joke that if their debut album, 2021’s Sexy, was a baby boy, then their 2024 album Girl is, well, a baby girl. The Atlanta-based duo, who mix hip-hop with lo-fi dream pop and glimmering electronic production, have gained acclaim over the past few years for their effortless charm and winking braggadocio.
On tracks like their viral hit “Pretty,” the Clairo and Deaton Chris Anthony collaboration “RACECAR,” and “Wishy Washy,” which was featured on the show Atlanta, the duo coolly dismiss the boring men who want to date them, talk shit about people who copy them, and luxuriate in being the life of the party. That kind of unfiltered confidence is often associated with male musicians, but Coco & Clair Clair’s music is also lush, vulnerable, and intimate. On Girl, they push that tension between stereotypically male and stereotypically female attributes further than ever before, with newly confessional lyrics, polished production, and the same verve that has always defined their work. Girl is a thrilling, poignant album that shows just how multifaceted girlhood and femininity can be.
