Clairo Signs With Atlantic Records

NEW YORK – Atlantic Records announced today that it has signed the acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated artist Clairo. Born Claire Cottrill, the Atlanta native has become a defining voice for her generation over the course of three full-length albums, beginning with her 2019 debitē, Immunity.

“I’m so thrilled to begin this next chapter of my musical journey with Atlantic,” Clairo said in a statement. “From our first meeting, they immediately understood my vision, and it feels good to know I can continue to be as expressive and free with my ideas with a great new partner by my side.”

Elliot Grainge, Chairman and CEO of Atlantic Music Group, echoed the sentiment. “Clairo represents the rare kind of artist who reshapes the music landscape simply by being true to herself,” Grainge said. “She’s not just one of the most important songwriters of her era, she's an artist whose work and aesthetic is truly unique.”

Clairo first gained viral attention in 2017 with her lo-fi pop song “Pretty Girl,” which led to a record deal with Fader Label. She followed her debitē with 2021’s Sling, collaborating with producers Rostam Batmanglij and Jack Antonoff, respectively. Her most recent album, Charm, was produced with Leon Michels and earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Alternative Album.
