Clairo Talks “Pretty Girl” And Making Chill Pop Songs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- There’s something special about Clairo. The 19-year-old Boston singer, who's been releasing little lo-fi pop gems on SoundCloud for years, has managed to garner a tight following. That fanbase increased significantly with the success of the video for her beachy loosise, “Pretty Girl.” In the clip, Clairo sits in her childhood bedroom and dances along to her song goofily. It feels pretty candid; she told The FADER it took her about 30 minutes to film the whole thing.

just another example of a normie who cares about the image more than the music *barfs*
to be fair, she is straight gorgie.
Jim Adler they're just complimenting her? there's nothing wrong with that
Ballistic Pepe even when she doesnt wear makeup her skin looks clear

Elijah N LOL what is this 😂
her daddy probably pays for the stand-ins too
he should probably pay for one to perform live for her too
different lighting / camera / lens / makeup / hairstyle
@@cartercartercartercar Wtf. She grew up. She has her own career. Go fuck urself.

Clairo is amazing. I wish she could collab with cuco
Less Life yesss dude

Less Life idk if that would work together tbh
Exactly ! their musical styles are so different actually ! that would not work together
Carlos Gonzales yes yes yes

@@matthewmccarty9991 don’t care
awww my lovely clairo, i'm so glad one of her songs blew up. bubblegum will always be my favourite song by her
she was about to say -fucked up but then she quickly changed it to -messed up. Lmaoo 0:23
in a love/hate relationship with this vid: love clairo, hate the fader.
Jouquin Fox well get ready to hate both of them, because her daddy has connections to the fader which is the only reason youre listening to her oversell her boring manufactured music
What they did to the melon??
I KNOW FADER SUCKS FOR WHAT THEY DID TO FANTANO BUT CLAIRO IS GREAT SO CHILLAX
Opheliasghost They accused him of pandering to the alt right and ruined his tour.
do ya mean Anthony Fantano
NAH NIGGA FUCK FADER
alt right sucks
she's so adorable, I'm melting
I am in love with you Clairo.
Oisín O' Driscoll same dude
Oisín O' Driscoll she has a bf and its so ugly
BlurryJay l-/ not nice, just because you're jelly
all her songs sounds the same and like pop genre lol what does she mean it was her first pop song? what genre did she think her songs were before that?
I'm so proud of her
clairo is so pretty
deso And Fader is full of asshat journalists. FUCKFADER
When Anthony Fantano sues you for Libel and wins do you think he will change the name of your website to The Melon Monthly?
Mister Metokur Archives, hey do you think they did because he is better than them?
rofl
what did they say about him
black jew They implied he was a racist member of the alt right who hates black people
All without a shred of evidence
Mister Metokur Archives not to mention that his wife is black
You’re not self made clairo like we all know now that you’re father helped you, but you’re talented and have a good voice regardless and I would have respected you if you would have been honest.
miong sena a lot of people would disagree. Even if you feel that way,you sound like a tool by basically saying plagiarism is ok if people enjoy it?
miong sena lol everything on my music playlists. Sounding somewhat similar because you’re in the same genre and straight up stealing and polishing a beat are two different things , not to mention trying to market someone else’s image as your own unique idea . At least other artists name their inspirations ,etc. clairo just wanted to steal Charlottes image and polish it for the mainstream . It’s more the fact that she leaves out the fact that Charlotte was her inspiration(she even admitted to using “nun lover” as the main source and basically stealing it for “pretty girl during a conversation between the two on Twitter . Admitting it to Charlotte only,not her fans of course ) she also leaves out the fact that her father is a huge industry figure who practically owns fader (converse owns fader) she lied about making the songs in her bedroom,when it was all made and edited in a studio (thanks to her dad) there’s a huge difference between finding inspiration in others work and stealing it , on top of lying to your entire fan base and trying to act like you’re “self made “
HOW DOES ONE BE SO PERFECTLY HIPSTER AND PRECIOUS
legit.smitty be a mediocre white girl who wears UNIF
legit.smitty FuckFader
Her dad is a marketing exec
WHAT?? THIS ISNT CLAIRO TF
She looks different here than on the video
her hair wasnt disgusting
her skin wasnt disgusting
she wasnt disgusting
she was perfect
she always is.
she literally said it was, herself lmao what
Stop simping
@@Querymonger jeese never knew up building and showing kindness to women is obsessive or simping
@@chicorecordsREALno that's called objectifying women
huh @@zenmkultra
I'm so proud of her :')
You are the death of journalistic integrity. Fantano is not alt right. Get your facts straight.
Henry L dude this a a Clario video. Write the "I hate Fader comments" somewhere else
justin magallon I have no idea who Clario is. I'm sure she's a fine person but it's unfortunate she's being promoted by Fader
I love Clairo. My favorite song is Pretty Girl.
She's so beautiful and so smart, I m in love with her and her song! Clairo you are such an interesting and inspiring person :) J'ai hâte de voir ce sue tu produiras dans le futur!
(sorry if I did some mistakes, I speak french haha)
Fuck, I love her.
I need a Polaroid of you dancing in my room
Clairo has one of those timeless looks. Edit her black and white I would still believe the photo is taken in 1975.
shes come so far lol i remember watching this
She is the farthest thing from "self-made" - her father Geoff Cotrill (marketing manager for Starbucks, Coca-Cola, and RUBBER TRACKS RECORDS) is the catalyst for her expedient success. ( I say this while appreciating her music yet I am more fond of honesty between the audience and the artist rather than a packaged and sold brand)
Side-note: I have friends and family from Florida who grew up around Geoff/his work credentials are a google search away. Also - PEOPLE AND FANS WILL FIND OUT ABOUT THIS EVENTUALLY.
Here it is:
I have no idea how Clairo - an indie artist whose music derives from Frankie Cosmos, Alex G, and Norah Jones (and any lo-fi vapor-wave/80s-90s beat) - has become more popular then her own influences. Oh wait - I do. Although I enjoy her music and I think she is an inspiring, aspiring, talented, and gifted songwriter I do not understand how her connections to the music industry hasn't been mentioned in a SINGLE interview. I am from the Boston area and I, and my friends and family, have encountered her father who worked for Rubber Tracks (Converse's record label) and various marketing/advertising companies. He has utilized his connections - and his extreme wealth - to place her on bills with artists (such as Tyler the Creator) who have taken years (..and years...and years..) to develop a following. All of her write-ups, interviews, press-releases, social media, and her own responses in interviews neglect to mention that her father (WHO WORKED IN THE RECORD INDUSTRY FOR SEVERAL YEARS) has clearly had an influence on her music career. Why is this? This is possibly due to the fact that Clairo has been branded - possibly by herself, her managers, or her father - as a "self-made" indie artist. Obviously this wouldn't be mentioned in the numerous pre-paid write-ups that her father has paid for in MTV and Pitchfork. I say all of this with the sentiment that she is talented, inspiring, and hard-working as a musician but I feel deceived as a fan that this has not been mentioned by the artist herself or any of the dozens upon dozens of interviews or press-releases that have clearly been planned, cultivated, and consciously construed to set up a false representation of an artist - or should I say - a brand. I do not think this discredits her art - I think it discredits the transparency between her management/herself and her fanbase. This is not meant to be offensive - I say this out of confusion towards the media. What do you think?
Don't believe that her father has that type of power/thirst for monetizing art for his own wealth? check out this link:americansongwriter.com/2011/03/converse-rubber-tracks-a-studio-grows-in-brooklyn/
Also:
"Cottrill (Clairo's father) made his first foray into the agency world after holding top marketing positions at some of America’s biggest advertisers including P&G, Coca-Cola and Starbucks. He had been CMO at Converse for more than 8 years before leaving that role last February in order to “pursue other efforts.” (www.adweek.com/agencyspy/mullenlowe-boston-parts-with-president-geoff-cottrill-after-one-year/130595)
Clairo's father - as I have heard from numerous sources from those who knew him in his youth - is an extremely conservative, materialistic, and self-indulgent figure who is fraught with greed, power, and a void that can only be filled with currency ( he is the teenager with a new red convertible every year - no this isn't an analogy it is an anecdote). I think this persona can be summed up by his career. He has been the manager of marketing for Coca-Cola (that's an absurd amount of money - not to mention poor morals considering how many people receive diabetes, cancer, higher blood pressure, etc. from the product) and Starbucks (a pseudo fair-trade company - hint: they are only advertised as being a fair trade company and outsource and underpay workers in South America) It is quite evident that he is exploiting his daughter's talent/mimicking for his own financial and internal gain (I'd assume someone with such a low standard for appreciating humanity/his own children is a little bit insecure about themselves.) Another rich person pushes a pawn upon the masses and they never see the invisible hand that did it. This is a pattern in both the music industry and the world at large.
(you have permission to do whatever you want with any of this information I'm not asking you to publish anything - I just want people to know the truth - however I understand your position as a possible benefactor of Geoff's wealth - however I am not assuming that is the current situation entirely for it is hard to clear the fog and grey area when a artist receives a lot of "hype". Thank's for reading. People will find out about this eventually anyways. ANOTHER INDUSTRY PLANT TRYING TO GET THAT MONEY
It sounds like you put more work into this than i do for my essays at college
I mean I myself have been wondering how Clairo was able to get so famous and well-known basically overnight. I thought "Hmm, Flaming Hot Cheetos and Pretty Girl are good songs", but the fact is that Pretty Girl got 3 million views the very same day it was uploaded. Yes, I saw that she had a soundcloud with plenty of songs that only got at most 12k views after a year it was uploaded, but really? 2 months after the Pretty Girl video, she's nationally known and is already doing shows.
I mean I haven't done much research on Frankie Cosmos, but I know that for a fact it took her 10 years to be where she is today and what took Clairo a year. Yes, Greta Kline is from a rich family, but she started from the bottom. I saw her in concert just last month and she was very gracious to play at theater venue. To me it didn't seem like that large of a place, but for someone who only ever played small shows with at the most 100 people to 300, that's a huge improvement.
can u credit the original commenter at least?
FezWa he /she didn’t write it....
You could at least credit the person who wrote the article,or source it. How do I know you didn’t write it? Because I know who did. Link the article
she looks so different in this video
she deserves this I love her sm
love her
SHE CAME SO FAR AND IM PROUD BUT FUCK FADER
She's a fake you idiot
I think she loooks cuter in the pretty girl music video than she does here
mmkay. You're literally missing the point of the actual song.
Thats bc shes in a baggy jean jacket sack and slouching
“At every turn in its thought, society will find us - waiting.”
Thanks for the subtitles on pretty girl! It helped me a lot around the " ( dancing ) " part ^-^
she looks prettier in the music video than she does in this interview
Sean Hiska I know. She should do whatever she did in that video again for her next song
probably cause she is high In this lol
@Kent Plays lol what? two months older? and you're calling other people retarded?
Right!!
she looks so different here then she does in the music video haha
aww man just something so precious about her makes want to cry
ugh i love her so much
Clairo !!!! This is amazing
her face is so different in every single thing i see

I've been waiting so long for her to get noticed and im so proud :,)
Looool she has wealthy parents who pushed the shit out of the song to get out here, she’s not “stuggling” lol
eggsactly
the cutest industry plant
golden comment
clairo ilysm so proud
I wonder how much her dad paid for this
Omar Nieto oh common, her dad doesn't need to pay shit for this when he has friends.
Hes one of the people who run fader he didn’t have to pay anything
Industry plant
Any Fantano response or apology?
The song’s writing is pretty good when you realize the meaning behind the song. It would’ve been easy to just write a basic chill song with a message so obvious, but the message is subtle here.
Tony Styles It's obvious. I've gotten the message the first time I've heard it, huh?
4EVER!! cant wait to see you in montreal, ily
clairo INDUSTRY PLANT
Justice for antwon fantwon
She's beautiful.
We love you clairo
Shit she’s 19 thought she was like 12
Clairo! 💖

Wow that’s really crazy
Clairo keep killing it 💯
I'm in love with clairo
People should look into her father. He has connections in the industry. Maybe she isn't as "authentic," Idk. just wondering.
gio132050 why do people put so much emphasis on this. They’re trying to rip her apart like she’s a bad person because of who her dad is.
Then we should be greatful for her fathers connections. Her music is incredible, Her voice even more so. So many people that deserve to be heard, that have real talent, arent. She seems humble and deserving of where she is so why does it matter who her father is? Im thankful to get to hear her and thankful she gets to express herself in a way that makes her happy. Love.

we all love clairo
Why is she so fuckin amazing!
Dope af
Aye, glad to see my melons are here already. How ya'll doing?
#NotEveryOneCanBeRacist #StopKillingJournalism #FUCKFADER
Am I missing something here? What's the story here?
The way she says she didn't meant to make it big. I don't think she deserves the fanbase she has it's all base on lies.
Clairo!!!!
Clairo is now a confident pretty girl doing really great ❤️

Whys she look 12 in her vid and 16 here?
all her songs sounds the same and like pop genre lol what does she mean it was her first pop song? what genre did she think her songs were before that?
vee gomi she does lo - fi
i_missher sant
lo-fi isn't a genre, it's just a type of production. almost every existing music genre can be made lo-fi.
vee gomi awww someone’s jelly
Diego are you five years old or just an idiot. Im going with you're just an idiot
Thank you!! that's exactly what I was thinking when I read that response. Almost like when people say they like indie music thinking its whole genre by itself when Indie isn't just alternative it can be indie rap, indie hip hop ect it just means underground.
i love her
She's so cool
