Coco & Clair Clair met on Twitter as teenagers, when Clair liked so many of Coco’s posts that Coco sent her a DM. The Atlanta duo, best friends Taylor Nave and Claire Toothill, makes deadpan, hyper-online rap-pop: glossy brags and inside jokes over homemade beats, the kind of songs that soundtracked the internet before TikTok made everything the same. Two years after their album Girl, they're back with two new singles, "Coldplay" and "One One," and an album on the way. Here, the two of them share the places that reset them, the one tattoo that will never earn their trust, and a fortune-cookie message delivered by an animal.

You both had mentioned you are working on a new album following the release of your singles. Any facts to share on what that'll look like?

Clair Clair: We've had a pretty hectic year with a lot of changes, so we're both feeling pretty inspired. We send voice memos to each other throughout the day to share ideas, and have like, three different documents containing new lyrics and several shared folders with demos for our new songs... and we're constantly adding more to each. So we're just working a lot, and we have a lot to work with. Who knows what we'll do next...

Coco: One thing that's for sure is whatever we release next will be done without a manager :)

Has there been a favorite moment you two have shared recently while performing or creating that stands out in your minds?

Clair Clair: I really loved our last performance, which was at Rally Festival in London. I felt so connected to and supported by everyone in the audience, even the people who weren't there to see us, and even though it was one of the largest crowds we've ever performed in front of. Coco's in-ears broke right before we had to sing a song we had never played live before, which was a very interesting and unique problem to have on stage in front of that many people, but we were having too much fun to really care.

Coco: Yeah, the last festival we played in London was one of the best, most freeing experiences to date. Usually we don't expect to receive so much love at festivals because there are so many other artists who people come to see, and sometimes in really different genres than our own. But at Rally Fest, we felt all the love and the support, which really reminds you what it's all for.

Three places you’ve felt inspired by.

Clair Clair: Any beach/beach town, almost every wedding I've been to, and New York.

Coco: By the river, in the car with the sunroof open on a beautiful day, amongst the trees on a hike.

What's your hot take?

Clair Clair: There are too many hot takes!

Coco: Anyone that has that star tattoo with each little leg half filled in is untrustworthy or unstable or both.

What do you listen to on repeat?

Clair Clair: Our new song, "One One," or Chxrry's new album.

Coco: Our own demos.

What are the most worthwhile investments you've made?

Clair Clair: Spending time with my parents and my sister, late nights working on music, my recent vacation in Jamaica with Coco, trips to New York to visit my friends and my boyfriend, and my Lexus.

Coco: Taking time for yourself is the greatest investment.

What is an unusual habit or an absurd thing that you love?

Clair Clair: I give a small kiss to my right ring finger after every prayer.

Coco: I probably eat chickpeas every day.

Who is your forever inspo?

Clair Clair: Anybody who is very calm.

Coco: The-Dream and Bill Callahan. Exceptional songwriters.

Write us a fortune cookie message.

Clair Clair: In the very near future, you will receive a message from an animal that will clarify everything.

Coco: Challenges in life don’t arise haphazardly, no matter how accidental or coincidental they may seem. They arise when you’re ready to transcend them. P.S. Not when you're ready to be squashed, but when you're ready to grow, overcome, and be more than who you were before they arrived.
