Coco & Clair Clair

Coco & Clair Clair are an Atlanta-based duo consisting of Taylor Nave (Coco) and Claire Toothill (Clair Clair), who emerged as pivotal figures in the 'bedroom pop' and 'cloud rap' intersection during the mid-2010s. Associated early on with the Awful Records collective, they developed a sound they jokingly termed 'demon glam rock,' characterized by minimalist electronic production, lo-fi textures, and a distinctively detached vocal delivery.

Their career arc moved from early internet notoriety with tracks like 'Sims 2' to critical acclaim with their debut studio album 'Sexy' (2022), which solidified their position as innovators of a specific brand of ironic, feminine-centric pop rap. Their influence is felt in the rise of 'internet-native' music where the aesthetic of the artist is as curated as the sound. Critically, they are praised for their subversion of traditional hip-hop bravado, replacing it with a suburban, hyper-specific feminine perspective. They occupy a unique cultural space that bridges the gap between the DIY ethics of SoundCloud rap and the glossy aspirations of mainstream pop.
