CLAIRO JUST WANTS TO FEEL “SEXY TO SOMEONE” IN HER NEW SINGLE
Wanting to feel sexy to someone is not a far fetched idea. Mysterious bar dates or walks through the park are a common practice to some, but if you're one of many who are left out of those endeavors, don’t worry you're not alone.Clairo gets it too.
Claire Cottrill, an artist commonly known as Clairo, has released “Sexy to Someone” a song off of her unreleased album “Charm”, that reminisces back to her debut album “Immunity”. Sonically the song is very similar to her first album (especially drawing influence from “Alewife”, bringing her back to a time of “bedroom pop” and synthesizers) but lyrically she swings in a new direction. In her sophomore album “Sling” her lyrics were far more conservative than those in “Sexy to Someone”. In a time where Clairo explores her maturity and her own self reflection. She revels in the confusion of not being pursued when “sexy is something [she] sees in everything.”
Clairo draws from the jazzy instrumentals featured in “Sling'' which pairs nicely with the newfound maturity in her lyrics. The small but effective elements in the instrumentals like synthesizers and various horns from her previous albums still shine through in the new single, showing that her past styles will still be accounted for in her upcoming album.
Following the single, she claims that third times the…“Charm”, her third studio album (with an already released track list and available on her Instagram @clairo) will be out this summer on July 12. She does not have a tour scheduled yet, but with the release of the album, one will most likely follow soon after.
This single is the perfect combination of vibrant instruments and self-loathing lyrics, leaving a little bit of something for everyone.The energetic back beat, jazzy overtones and relatable lyrics of “Sexy to Someone” will get you sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for the rest of the “Charm” coming out this July.
