Clairo Drops Another Gorgeous Single Ahead of Forthcoming LP ‘Charm’

A month after casually dropping “ Sexy to Someone ,” the summery banger for homebodies everywhere, Clairo has released more music. Her new single, “Nomad,” features a bending, almost psychedelic opening, as Cottrill’s calming, delicate voice enters: “I’d run the risk of losing everything/ So all my things become nomadic.” Later, she admits, “I’m cynical, a mess/ I’m touch-starved and shameless.”

Clairo Announces Five-Night Residencies in Los Angeles and New York

“Nomad” is the opening track to Cottrill’s upcoming album Charm , out July 12. The date is consistent with her previous two records (2021’s Sling and 2019’s Immunity ), which were also released in the summer. “ Immunity is talking about all the things I feel, but Sling is getting to the root of the problem,” she told Rolling Stone in her 2021 cover story .

Produced Leon Michels, Charm was cut at Allaire Studios just outside of Woodstock, New York (where she also recorded Sling ) and Diamond Mine Recording in Queens. The other eight tracks on the album include “Slow Dance,” “Terrapin,” “Juna,” and more.
