Clairo’s music is lackadaisical and charming, full of candid observations that feel plucked from a friend’s iPhone notes. Her viral hit “Pretty Girl” spread so quickly not because it is particularly obscure or bizarre, but because, accompanied by a lo-fi video filmed on her computer’s webcam, its sentiments are familiar to any woman who has sacrificed part of herself for a love interest. Since that song’s success, Clairo has released an?EP, as well as a handful of hazy pop singles that reference the mundane—Pepto Bismol, accidentally swallowed gum, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos—while articulating the frustrations and euphoria of blossoming romance.

Clairo的音樂慵懶而迷人，其中充斥了大膽直接的觀察，讓人感覺好像是從朋友的iPhone筆記中摘錄下來的。她的熱門單曲“Pretty Girl（漂亮女孩）”躥紅速度如此之快，并不是因為它十分晦澀或者怪異，而是因為有電腦攝像頭拍攝的低像素視頻，才使得那些為了感情而犧牲自我的女性倍感熟悉。這首歌成功之后，Clairo隨之發(fā)布了一張EP，同時還發(fā)行了一些舒緩的流行單曲，這其實暗指那些常見的玩意兒-當你不小心吞下了口香糖的時候，可以吃Pepto Bismol（譯者注：減輕腸胃不適，促消化）來緩解（譯者注：Clairo在歌曲“Bubble Gum”中歌詞提到自己咽了個口香糖），同時在歌曲“Flamin’ Hot Cheetos”中表達出了令人那沉淪的浪漫愛情所帶來的沮喪和快樂。

“Bags,” Clairo’s strongest song to date, ups the ante significantly. She delivers oblique, stream-of-consciousness lyricism about a deteriorating relationship, singing in a characteristic deadpan that seems to contradict the emotional weight of lines like, “Pardon my emotions, I should probably keep it all to myself,” and, “Can you see me using everything to hold back?” But the instrumentals tell a different story; unlike the gauzy, synth-heavy wash that usually cocoons her vocals, “Bags” is sonic splatter paint. Clairo and?Rostam’s production is a mishmash of choppy helicopter synth, chugging electric guitar, Danielle?Haim’s drums, and keys that sound as if they’re being banged by a kindergartener. Though it sounds busy on paper, it’s executed beautifully, each twinkling element bringing new vibrancy to the mix. With the dewy turbulence of a monsoon rain, “Bags” marks a new kind of Clairo energy.

Clairo迄今為止最強勁的歌曲“Bags（袋子）”,遠遠超出了大家的預期。她以一種含蓄內斂式的抒情，以及她特有的毫無情感波動的方式演唱，但是，這似乎與歌詞中所蘊涵的情感份量相矛盾，“Pardon my emotions, I should probably keep it all to myself（請原諒我的情緒，也許我應該把這一切都留給自己）,”以及“Can you see me using everything to hold back?（你能看到我窮盡一切方法來抑制自己嗎?）”。然而，這次的背景音用了另一種方式，不像那種慣有的利用薄紗般或者重節(jié)奏的音符將她的本音籠罩。Clairo和Rostam的作品混合了雜亂無章的直升機嗡嗡的合成音、電子吉他的嘎吱嘎吱聲、Danielle Haim的鼓聲，以及聽起來像是幼兒園小朋友敲打的琴鍵音。雖然這么鋪敘在文章中，讓人聽起來很嘈雜，但事實上它配合的十分完美，這里面的每一個閃光點都給歌曲的混音帶來新鮮血液。伴隨著濕潤的季雨湍流，“Bags”標志著Clairo新的啟程。
