Artist: Clairo Single: Sexy To Someone Genre: Bedroom Pop, Indie Pop Release Date: May 23rd, 2024
Clairo released a new single this past week as an introduction to her new upcoming album “Charm”. “Sexy to Someone” is a lively but leisurely stroll down the lane of desire. The new single has a whole new sound that we haven’t really gotten from Clairo before. While it is still classic-Clairo, “Sexy to Someone” doesn’t really seem like it would fit onto any of her past albums. Because of this, we can expect the new album to hold some surprises for us.
The new track is relatable and a little sorrowful as Clairo talks about how much easier life feels when you’re desirable. An expression of insecurity, the need for a reality check, and the love of limelight, “Sexy to Someone” is the anthem for people who just want to be wanted.
The song is mixed to perfection and nicely balanced. Clairo’s soft voice melds well with the drums, and synthy flute sounds. She utilizes a lot of the same recording techniques she has in previous albums, but uses them to create a new sound. With one of the best new releases of the month, Clairo creates excitement for the new album.

Childish Gambino surprises us with Atavista, a polished re-release of his 2020 album 3.15.20. Gambino originally released the unfinished record during the Covid-19 pandemic as a rushed love letter to his apocalypse anxiety and to his fans. Needing a master and a mix, Gambino resurfaced the entire album and dropped it alongside a list of tour dates. Atavista is an intimate album that somehow maintains oodles of mystique and disconnectivity. The words to the songs are new, but the album’s sound isn’t anything that we haven’t heard from Gambino before.
