When it came time to make Coco and Clair Clair's third album, "Girl," the duo of Taylor Nave and Claire Toothill felt like recording covers of other people's songs.

“I don’t think we knew it at the time, but I think we were secretly trying to avoid diving into another album,” Claire tells Variety. The road to “Girl,” the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2022 LP “Sexy,” was undoubtedly an intimidating one. “Sexy” spawned several viral singles, including “Pop Star,” a quirky mix of feathery beats with matching, empowering lyrics: “Pay me just to party and I show up in my PJs” and “If you want to hang with bad bitches there’s gonna be a fee.” Each verse was delivered with equal parts ferocity and irony, yielding an irresistible combination of relatability and delusion that feels uniquely Gen Z.

"We make music to have fun and we do karaoke all the time, we're obsessed. We always play covers at our shows. We're big fans of Angel Olsen, who does covers all the time. For us, it made perfect sense that our next album [would be] covers," adds Coco (Nave), "Our team was like, 'Oh… that's not going to sell, baby.'"

So they settled on just one cover: a woozy, drum-and-bass version of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Our House." The album also features the previously released singles "Aggy" and "Kate Spade," which gave the album an immediate upgrade over "Sexy." With every gritty breakbeat on "Kate Spade," Coco's flow is strikingly confident and overwhelmingly feminine, cultivating a seductive charm that's palpable throughout all nine tracks.
