Coco & Clair’s new album Girl sees the Atlanta duo embracing a broad range of sonic landscapes.
Speaking further about the project Coco and Clair share, “In the early stages of our writing process we had a running joke about being pregnant with a new album and how this one felt like a baby girl, whereas our last project, Sexy, felt more like a baby boy. We were writing about our relationships, referencing and incorporating lyrics we had written years ago – lyrics previously put aside for being too vulnerable or confessional. We were experimenting with a style of production that felt more refined, polished, intentional, and intimate. We embraced the tension between that new approach and the characteristic qualities that propelled us early on: our resourcefulness, boastfulness, and flamboyance – all virtues of femininity and girlhood as much as they are tropes of masculinity. We listened to music that we felt exuded that same tension; Saint Etienne, Brandy, Everything but the Girl, Lana Del Rey, Club 8, Milky, and Madonna were huge inspirations both sonically and visually. We entered this new phase as closer friends and collaborators – more in tune with each other and ourselves, with newfound access to parts of our creative psyches that we hadn’t yet brought into Coco & Clair Clair. We worried less but cared more, which felt powerfully feminine.”
The new album came together after touring the country and experiencing the soft glow of new romantic relationships. They leaned into these varied emotional experiences and wrote songs that were newly intimate without sacrificing their sense of charisma and verve.
The songs came together quickly, in a matter of weeks. Once they had them ready, they traveled between Amsterdam and Joshua Tree to work on production in collaboration with Raven Artson.
They would cook together, lay out in the sun, drive around town, and then start making drinks at 4 or 5 pm and get to work. During this time, Coco and Clair pushed themselves to take more risks – there’s a rock song on the album, a number of old beats Coco had made years ago, and the lyricism is their most vulnerable yet.
This process helped them actualize their ideas and there’s a sense of intentionality and confidence to the resulting songs. The production is lusher and more vibrant while remaining eclectic and immediate. Ultimately with Girl, Coco and Clair have mastered sitting comfortably with their vulnerability.
