Coco & Clair Clair will be embarking on a headlining tour this fall in support of their forthcoming album Girl. Beginning on October 1 in Montreal, the duo will perform in 21 cities across North America, including Toronto, Chicago, Seattle and New York.
The Atlanta-hailing pop duo met over a decade ago on Twitter, releasing their debut project P.O.S.H. four years later. Since then, they’ve relocated to New York and have put out another EP, Treat Like Gold, and their 2022 debut LP Sexy.
Dropping on August 30, Girl was created between Amsterdam and Joshua Tree and produced in collaboration with Raven Artson. The album is billed as the duo’s most vulnerable yet, with songs ranging from a fresh rock track to beats that Coco made years prior.
“In the early stages of our writing process we had a running joke about being pregnant with a new album and how this one felt like a baby girl, whereas our last project, Sexy, felt more like a baby boy,” Coco & Clair Clair said. “We were writing about our relationships, referencing and incorporating lyrics we had written years ago – lyrics previously put aside for being too vulnerable or confessional. We were experimenting with a style of production that felt more refined, polished, intentional, and intimate.”
“We embraced the tension between that new approach and the characteristic qualities that propelled us early on: our resourcefulness, boastfulness, and flamboyance – all virtues of femininity and girlhood as much as they are tropes of masculinity.”
Along with announcing the tour, the duo has shared a new song from the LP entitled “Kate Spade.”
