  • 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.

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.
