Clairo to Play the Grand Ole Opry House Nov. 4
It’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since beloved indie singer-songwriter Clairo first found widespread attention and viral YouTube fame with self-released early single “Pretty Girl,” landing the then-still-teenaged artist a record deal with the Fader Label ahead of buzzy 2018 EP Diary 001 and critically-lauded 2019 first full-length Immunity, and cementing her as the poster child for the late 2010s boom of lo-fi, introspective, electro-infused, and deeply earnest Gen-Z bedroom pop. In the half decade since that first LP, the now 25-year-old Clairo has evolved significantly in her artistry, gravitating towards a more filled-out folk, baroque pop, and soft rock sound on critically-acclaimed 2021 sophomore album Sling, and with her latest and third album Charm, which arrived just last week and marks Clairo’s first self-released project since her teens, she further explores new adventurous sonic boundaries, pulling from jazz, soul, folk, psychedelic, and more; a huge leap from her lo-fi, electro, bedroom pop days.
