Little known fact: I have a team of music savvy youths that keep me informed of what “the now generation” is listening to… and Clairo’s name has been popping up with increased regularity. I first heard this 21-year-old's savvy, bedroom pop live when she opened for Khalid earlier this year, and it’s pretty easy to see why he chose her as a touring partner. Most famous for her sardonic AF viral 2017 hit “Pretty Girl,” Clairo has traded in her lo-fi sound for more lush, practiced production in her latest album, Immunity. Though as shiny as this new product is, it doesn’t overwhelm the warm, vibrant tone of her voice or her smart, wise-to-the-world lyrics. by Wm. Steven Humphrey
