Originally appearing on Lana Del Rey’s 2014 Dan Auerbach-produced sophomore LP Ultraviolence , “Brooklyn Baby” serves both as the artist’s love letter to and satirical lampooning of the Brooklyn-based “hipster” subculture that sprung up around the time of her early 2010s breakthrough — in our original review of Ultraviolence , Sasha Geffen referred to “Brooklyn Baby” as “the most millennial song ever written.”
“Yeah, my boyfriend’s pretty cool/ But he’s not as cool as me,” goes one of Lana’s original lines, sung with effortless poise in Clairo’s dreamy, slightly slower rendition. The cover may not have the bells and whistles she imbued into the arrangements of the ’70s-inspired Charm , but it does feature Clairo’s signature honey-velvet singing voice. Listen to Clairo’s cover of “Brooklyn Baby” below.
Clairo’s Charm arrived in July, and in support, the artist will be heading out on a lengthy North American tour this fall. Get tickets here .
Del Rey, meanwhile, headlined Coachella back in April and recently teamed up with Quavo for the country-rap track “Tough,” which is possibly be the first single off her upcoming country album Lasso .
