Besides her standard but absolutely no less magnificent dreamy vocals and acoustic guitar assisted lullabies, there is her writing, which plunges fearlessly into the cobwebbed corners of her own humanity.
On 2022’s MOSS, she used her poetry as a method of ‘untangling’ all she’d gathered in the couple years prior, and on her third studio album, this practice has become her focal skill. Chaos Angel demonstrates a harmonious awareness of oneself, a meticulous observation of not only the inner workings, but all that’s external and crucial too.
Clairo co-produced her Sling follow-up with Leon Michaels of El Michels Affair. The singer-songwriter has announced her third album, Charm, and shared its lead single, “Sexy to Someone.” Charm is out July 12.
In a statement posted on social media, Glover described Atavista as “the finished version of 3.15.20, the album I put out 4 years ago.” The original version of the album was shared online with little fanfare, the names of its guest stars were left off the tracklist and the song titles simply referred to the time at which they arrived on the album (“42.26” etc).
Atavista includes refreshed song titles and previously unheard “Little Foot Big Foot” featuring Young Nudy. That track arrives alongside a black-and-white music video directed by Hiro Murai and starring Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson.
