Clairo Signs to Atlantic Records: ‘I Can Continue to Be as Expressive and Free With My Ideas’

by · Variety

Clairo has signed with Atlantic Records, marking the latest milestone in her career after three previous albums.

The singer-songwriter, born Claire Elizabeth Cottrill, initially released her debut EP “Diary 001” in 2018 on Fader Label. Her debut album “Immunity” followed the next year on the same imprint, followed by “Sling” in 2021 on Fader, Polydor and Republic, and last year’s “Charm” on her own Clairo Records.

“I’m so thrilled to begin this next chapter of my musical journey with Atlantic,” said Clairo in a press release. “From our first meeting, they immediately understood my vision, and it feels good to know I can continue to be as expressive and free with my ideas with a great new partner by my side.”

Elliot Grainge, chairman and CEO of Atlantic Music Group, added, “Clairo represents the rare kind of artist who reshapes the music landscape simply by being true to herself. She’s not just one of the most important songwriters of her era, she’s an artist whose work and aesthetic is truly unique. As a leading voice in music today, we are honored that she has chosen the Atlantic family to be part of her next chapter.”

“Charm” represented a leveling up for Clairo, which she co-produced with Leon Michels. She staged two residencies in New York and Los Angeles, and followed the July 2024 release of the album with a fall tour. “Charm” was nominated for her first Grammy in the best alternative music album category, and Clairo made headlines after Bernie Sanders introduced her performance at Coachella in April.
