Clairo and Jack Antonoff Break Down Clairo's New Song 'Amoeba'
Ойын-сауық
Clairo describes the viral success that followed her video "Pretty Girl" as the “googly-eyed, deer-in-headlights," years of her career. “I was so desperate for validation in the beginning,” she told Rolling Stone in her recent cover story. "I just really wanted to be liked.” Claire Cottrill reflected on that period on "Amoeba," a gem from her new album, Sling. "'Amoeba' is essentially me scolding myself," she says in latest Breakdown video at Electric Lady Studios, accompanied by her producer Jack Antonoff.

Wtf . The creativity is brilliant! Every small detail makes the song to the highest level. Great!
Amoeba is uniquely damn good. The harmony, love it
I love Sling because it’s such a mature sounding album. The complex harmonies, beautiful chord progressions, the horns, the strings, etc etc… Very much reminds me of Pet Sounds/Brian Wilson production. Clairo is really progressing well as an artist. Major props to Jack Antonoff! Looking forward to what they do in the future.
One of the best breakdowns ever. I'd imagined a producer who brought in a team of studio musicians; now I see it was just the two, with Clairo doing most of the instrumentation and artistic direction... respect! Respect for her lyrics, vision/ear, creativity, and I love that he let her lead. They seem to have brought out the best in each other's creativity.

such a well-written song. both lyrics and music.
She’s the drunk musician of our generation what a great time to be alive
Good for her being so young and having the self awareness to get out of the self obsessed musician phase.
clairo is one of the most down to earth and talented people i know. she puts a lot of love into her craft.
i love claire so much, sling is such a good album and it shows how talented she is 💓
I dont necessarily listen to her type of music but I do like the production behind bedroom pop or indie songs in general because it’s stripped back yet it has a freeing quality that most A-List Pop songs just doesn’t have.

6:37 "spooky" hahahaha yeah those vocals kind of reminds me of something i would listen on a elliott smith record. amoeba is such a great song and maybe her best to date.
This song is so quiet and finely braided together, I've played it from different rooms in my house and went into another room and I often end up hearing different layers of the song and it sounds unrecognisable. Feels like being Alice in Wonderland 🐰
I met Clairo when she opened for Dua Lipa a few years back here in Houston. She’s so so awesome 🥲 so so happy to see her grow!
jack's not only amazing at making music but also explaining how they made it lol
Dear Claire and Jack, thank you for sharing Amoeba with us, or for that matter, SLING. the record is a freaking masterpiece.

Sling is one of my top albums this year. Clairo’s voice and lyricism is amazing
I love this band's attention to detail when communicating emotions through instrumental ensembles. Beautiful, really.
this is fucking incredible. amoeba is my 8th most-played song of 2022. I've felt the complex emotions that are evoked by all the sonic stuff going on, but I've had no idea the topic of the song or the depth of the details of the instrumental. it's so amazing to be able to learn these details. what a masterful song
im so in love with her i can’t stand it
Seeing their creative process is insanely cool
I am so obsessed and fascinated by this song, it’s my most listened to song this year!☺️
pretty girlの頃からずーーっと大人っぽくなって儚さの中に芯が見え隠れするこの声が、本当に唯一無二。
One of my favorite songs off the album!! Musically and lyrically amazing!

when this song came out my mind was blown 😭 sling is such an amazing album!
I love Sling so much. My fav 2021 album so far!
Outstanding song, made my week since hearing it
got the record recently. it's definitely a time capsule. the vibe is very reminiscent of a 70s records
once i heard that intro, i know its gonna be my favorite song on the album
I love their dynamic so much
It’s so CRAZY TO ME how these amazing people make such music omgosh I’m grateful for the existence of them & music 💕😭
them defining her album as depression and bisexuality has me crying💀💀
i love how the production manages to somehow evoke the beatles, doobie bros, stevie wonder, and everything in between and somehow still make sense
One of my top 3 favs off this album 🙌
such a good song, and album. i love claire🤍
I’m obsessed with this song
she’s so talented man
