LISTEN
IMMUNITY

Following in the footsteps of Billie Eilish, as well as Grammy Award-winning artists Khalid and H.E.R, Apple Music has announced FADER label artist Clairo as the latest artist to be featured as part of their wildly successful Up Next campaign.

Geared towards identifying, showcasing and elevating rising star talent, Clairo joins some of today’s most exciting and promising artists around.

“There’s a depth and truthfulness to Clairo’s songs that can’t be faked. I think people connect with her because she’s very clearly a music obsessive, she’s a realist and she’s an incredible storyteller,” said Apple Music host Matt Wilkinson. “From early beginnings making catchy pop songs in her bedroom, to singalongs on festival stages and studios sessions with the best producers on the planet, her story has been compelling. It’s only going to get bigger from here – and that’s why she’s Up Next.”

The news follows the release of her critically acclaimed debut album IMMUNITY, and the announcement of her North American headlining tour, which continues to sell out, with more dates recently added. For a full list of dates and more information, go to: www.clairo.com

On September 5, Clairo will also be making her late night television debut on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! as part of Apple Music’s Up Next program. Catch a sneak peek of the Apple Music Up Next Clairo short film HERE.
