Oddball Atlanta duo Coco & Clair Clair have been making music together for nearly a decade but they only really broke through in 2022, when their 2017 track Pretty went viral on TikTok. They are quintessentially modern stars: singer-rappers whose sizzle and spark comes from their canny use of juxtaposition. Their reference points are painfully niche (“Don’t follow me when you’re looking like Vincent Gallo” goes one burn on Pretty) or hilariously mass-culture (their latest single is titled Kate Spade). Their lyrics often take the form of callous disses that teeter on the edge of outright nastiness, but they are always delivered in girlish singsong.
