![]() ![]() Antonoff’s skill here is placing the voice – the feeling, the intimacy, the importance of her words – right against the microphone, and without any distractions. The first clues for this change came with the release of lead single, Blouse. Understated and small in sound, it is anything but in terms of melody and ideas – a quiet blur of a song that digs its anti-patriarchal teeth in on first listen, but without a hint of clever studio trickery or bombast. Sling‘s production feels measured – thoughtful – and as if each song has received the treatment it needs, rather than some pre-determined, restrictive vision. The lo-fi, demo-like feel has been replaced by new collaborator, Jack Antonoff (Taylor Swift, St Vincent, Lana Del Rey), with a sound that feels like ‘classic songwriter’ territory.īut Antonoff hasn’t lifted his blueprint from previous projects, and pushed them onto the Atlanta artist. Where Clairo’s debut saw Rostam Batmanglij help the songwriter pull together diary entries, scrapbook jottings and iPhone voice notes, Sling feels like it’s been written in close to one sitting. ![]() Sling… shot!
