Since <em>Sling<\/em>\u2019s release, Cottrill has been creatively quiet except for an EP of live recordings from the legendary <a href=\"https:\/\/electricladystudios.com\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Electric Lady<\/span><\/a> music studio in 2023 (A place where some of <em>Charm<\/em> was recorded). This EP features new live compositions of various songs from <em>Sling<\/em> as well as \u201cBags\u201d from the widely celebrated 2019 record <em>Immunity<\/em>. These new live interpretations give the tracks more instrumental depth and texture through jazz-inspired solos, and via the band\u2019s layered but skillfully blended sound. But fans awaited something new, and on March 1st, Cottrill delivered: a surprise Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/clairo\/p\/C3-thpoOrbx\/?hl=en\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">post<\/span><\/a> featuring her playing the flute heralded a third record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The question in many minds: Would Cottrill continue to pursue the hopeful, bubbly, and poetic sounds of the post-covid era found on <em>Sling<\/em>, return to the pop earworms that slingshotted her into stardom in 2019, or formulate a completely new sound that branches off from the former projects entirely?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The answer is the latter.&nbsp; <em>Charm<\/em> comes to us as Cottrill hits 25 years old. She is no longer the newcomer who drew in a generation with her relatable lyrics of \u201cPretty Girl,\u201d or \u2018Sofia.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Ahead of Charm\u2019s release, an <a href=\"https:\/\/crackmagazine.net\/article\/profiles\/clairo-cover-story-interview\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">interview in Crack Magazine<\/span><\/a> discusses how she views her previous albums, \u201cHonestly, I look back at those two records and see someone trying to become an adult and doing it in front of a lot of people.\u201d&nbsp; It suggests that Cottrill believes Charm is the first album she\u2019s created as an adult.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Cottrill is evolving into adulthood and reflects this in a new release with layers of lyrical complexity that are significantly more nuanced and poetic than before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">In the opening track \u201cNomad,\u201d Cottrill attempts to explain the idea of love without explicitly saying any word related to the idea of being in love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>Oh, where you hid the key?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>It&#8217;s even irrational for me.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>It&#8217;s chemical, obsessed<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>&nbsp;I&#8217;ll blame you for locking me in<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">With such a pretty and melodic opening lyrically and instrumentals taking a backseat, one would think Cottrill might attempt to let her ability as a songwriter take the helm on \u201cCharm,\u201d but it\u2019s exactly the opposite once you progress past the opening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>Charm<\/em> is a record that showcases Cottrill expressing herself primarily through the world of music she builds around herself, while still featuring the iconic vocals that make each song undoubtedly her own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Cottrill created <em>Charm<\/em> with the veteran music producer, Leon Michals, who has a laundry list of production credits, with Norah Jones\u2019 <em>Visions<\/em> as his most recent production work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>Charm<\/em>\u2019s strong point is its production, for instance, the drumming chops stand out by having a spacy sound that draws the listener in but doesn\u2019t overpower any of the tracks.&nbsp; This hypnotic, jazz-inspired drum work is most notable on \u201cTerrapin\u201d which marries the song with delectable and airy piano flourishes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Furthermore, any wind instrument or horn you can think of surfaces on this album in all sorts of places but it never once feels like it doesn\u2019t belong. One thing to understand with this record is that Cottrill doesn\u2019t let her talent step in the way of fully painting her world of sound on <em>Charm<\/em>\u2013 while she is directly responsible for the flute and clarinet on the record, she doesn\u2019t get cocky about her ability or shove herself into the spotlight, she adds the brush strokes of sound where it feels right, and keeps going, collecting the help of her bandmates when appropriate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">We can compare the way <em>Sling<\/em> is produced vs <em>Charm.<\/em> In 2021 on \u201cBambi\u201d Cottirll\u2019s vocals pave the way for a majestic horn section to welcome the listener into the journey that is <em>Sling<\/em>. In \u201cJuna\u201d on <em>Charm,<\/em> Cottrill\u2019s direction lets the horns and wind instruments tickle your ear as you journey through <em>Charm<\/em>\u2019s world discovering pleasant surprises on your roughly 40-minute expedition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">That&#8217;s one of the rewarding parts of <em>Charm<\/em> that Cottrill is pioneering:&nbsp; a maturity that keeps all parts of the record equal, each installment is exactly where it needs to be, making a rich, complex sound that lets you pick up on a new cog in the machine each re-listen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>Charm<\/em>\u2019s production has one aspect that takes the record from good to great, and that\u2019s Cottrill\u2019s voice itself.&nbsp; Each song has Cottrill either humming, skating, or making some sort of noise with her distinct vocals that weave it all together.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cSecond Nature\u201d showcases Cottrill\u2019s vocals very well with the track featuring a chorus of \u201cDa-dums\u201d and fragments of laughter in the background guiding us through the track alongside the instrumentation&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">&nbsp;Cottrill\u2019s maturity and finesse come through on <em>Charm<\/em> front to back. This is her strongest lyrical work thus far, with some of Cottrill\u2019s poetic verses shining through the bold musical sections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>And once you get in my ear<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>&nbsp;I see kismet sinking in&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>It&#8217;s second nature&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>Like the sap from a cedar<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>&nbsp;Rolling down to be near her<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\"><em>It&#8217;s second nature<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">While the lyrics of Charm are just as breathtaking as the music that surrounds them, the lyrics are scarce in comparison to other cuts off of <em>Sling<\/em> like&nbsp; \u201cJust for Today\u201d or \u201cBlouse\u201d which have a narrative throughout the track.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Fans are still processing it all\u2013 some fans calling \u201cAdd Up My Love\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@meandmydogenthusiastt\/video\/7390618865232842026?lang=en\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">older sister of \u201cBags\u201d<\/span><\/a>, which hints the fans recognize her maturity as a factor in <em>Charm<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">And for fans who miss the sound of <em>Immunity<\/em>, it\u2019s no question that those songs will forever be benchmarks of her career, but a true fan will let her grow and follow her through her musical journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Clairo isn\u2019t making music to meet commercial expectations. She\u2019s trying to be true to herself and authentic to her art.&nbsp; So stick around.&nbsp; If she hasn\u2019t wowed you with this record,&nbsp; I\u2019m betting she\u2019ll <em>Charm<\/em> you again one day.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\">&nbsp;Cottrill\u2019s maturity and finesse come through on <em>Charm<\/em> front to back.
