Meet Clairo, a Generation Z artist. That is to say, an artist from the Soundcloud, Garageband, Bandcamp generation, and therefore capable of recording alone at home and broadcasting her songs to the world from her bedroom. Her name is Claire Cottrill aka Clairo, born in Atlanta in the late 90s.

Do we love in the right way? Without answer and without end…
