Indie-pop singer-songwriter Clairo returns today with her third studio album, Charm, the follow-up to 2021’s Sling. This time around, Clairo collaborated with songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Leon Michels, who’s known for his work with Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings and El Michels Affair, among others.
The album includes two previously released singles: the lightly funky soul-pop confection “Sexy to Someone” and the folkier “Nomad.”
“Evoking balmy summer evenings and tête-à-têtes in plush conversation pits, Charm is a collection of warm, 70’s-inspired grooves that move lithely between jazz, psychedelic folk and soul, an extroverted bounce back from her beloved 2021 album Sling,” reads the press release issued when the album was announced back in May.
