It’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since beloved indie singer-songwriter Clairo first found widespread attention and viral YouTube fame with self-released early single “Pretty Girl,” landing the then-still-teenaged artist a record deal with the Fader Label ahead of buzzy 2018 EP Diary 001 and critically-lauded 2019 first full-length Immunity, and cementing her as the poster child for the late 2010s boom of lo-fi, introspective, electro-infused, and deeply earnest Gen-Z bedroom pop. In the half decade since that first LP, the now 25-year-old Clairo has evolved significantly in her artistry, gravitating towards a more filled-out folk, baroque pop, and soft rock sound on critically-acclaimed 2021 sophomore album Sling, and with her latest and third album Charm, which arrived just last week and marks Clairo’s first self-released project since her teens, she further explores new adventurous sonic boundaries, pulling from jazz, soul, folk, psychedelic, and more; a huge leap from her lo-fi, electro, bedroom pop days.
That soulful, soft rock direction has been on full display the last few times we’ve seen Clairo live- two summers ago at (what might be the last-ever installment of) Louisville’s Foreacastle Fest, and last year in Nashville at the inaugural Re:SET Fest in support of boygenius (though her set was, unfortunately, cut short due to weather delays). Surprisingly, that Re:SET show is one of the few times Clairo has played Nashville, alongside a 2019 appearance at nearby Bonnaroo and just one headlining outing, in 2022 at The Ryman. That’ll change later this year though, as, in support of Charm, Clairo has announced a lengthy fall U.S. tour, which brings her back to Music City to headline the Grand Ole Opry House on Nov. 4, along with fellow indie singer-songwriter Alice Phoebe Lou. Tickets are set to go on sale Friday, July 26 at 10 a.m. CDT right here, with pre-sales beginning Tuesday, July 23 (sign up here for early access). Stream Charm on your platform of choice now, and watch Clairo play new single “Juna” on The Tonight Show below!
