Fresh off singing backup vocals on stage with Freddie Gibbs, Madlib, and backing band El Michels Affair in NYC, Clairo has announced a new album, Charm, co-produced by El Michels Affair leader Leon Michels. Leon is known for keeping the spirit of vintage soul alive, and he and Clairo bring that spirit to lead single “Sexy to Someone,” which a press release says is indicative of the whole album’s direction. The fully analogue LP was recorded live to tape at Diamond Mine Recording in Queens and Allaire Studios in Woodstock, and it employs horns, woodwinds, vintage synths, and more.
Charm comes out on July 12 (pre-order). Listen to “Sexy to Someone” below.
