WHAT IT IS: Following her 2019 debut, Immunity, Clairo quickly became an artist to watch, and the now-22-year-old enters a new chapter with her sophomore album, Sling. A collaboration with Jack Antonoff, the album—which has received four-star reviews from Rolling Stone, The Guardian and other publications—provides an abundant space for Clairo’s nuanced exploration of mental health, unmet expectations and the struggle to treat ourselves with gentleness and love.
