Coco & Clair Clair: Girl review – girlish singsong with sizzle and spark


After years of lightweight pop, the duo are breaking new ground with their second full-length album

Their reference points are painfully niche (“Don’t follow me when you’re looking like Vincent Gallo” goes one burn on Pretty) or hilariously mass-culture (their latest single is titled Kate Spade). Their lyrics often take the form of callous disses that teeter on the edge of outright nastiness, but they are always delivered in girlish singsong. Everyone But You captures the hi-fi post-grunge era of the 90s and 2000s, Coco’s rapping taking on an ominous quality as the song builds to a blown-out guitar solo.
