Flo is in the greenhouse today with Clairo, an American musician whose music encompasses elements of lo-fi pop, soul and introspective folk. She grew up on the internet, with her viral hit Pretty Girl landing on YouTube in 2017. Three albums later, Clairo’s work feels like it’s maturing with her, but still maintains the raw intimacy and emotional clarity that her growing fanbase know her for.
In the greenhouse, Flo and Clairo pot on sweetcorn while they avoid a London rainstorm. During this meditative task they talk about growing up on the internet, their mutual love of the band Broadcast, the euphoric joy of soul music and how this is inspiring Clairo’s new work.
