![]() Primary Wave declined to specify exactly how much of a stake in the catalog the company purchased or how much it paid in the deal, but the sale gives the company access to tracks including platinum-certified hits “Last Nite,” “Someday” and “Reptilia.” The company bought a stake in Casablancas’s publishing rights as well as the songs’ master rights. The group also made headlines when frontman Julian Casablancas sold a stake in his Strokes catalog to Primary Wave, marking yet another major artist selling off their music rights amid a hot song acquisition market. A positive COVID case sidelined the rock band from their headlining appearance at Spain’s Primavera Sound in June, but they have since returned to the road. The Strokes have been on the festival circuit this summer. Later in the evening, Clairo collaborated with Bridgers during the latter’s set, providing backing vocals on “I Know The End.” ![]() The Strokes offered up their rendition of “Sofia,” off Clairo’s 2019 debut album Immunity, in tribute to the musician.Įarlier this week, Clairo joined Phoebe Bridgers for a live rendition of Clairo’s 2019 single “Bags” at a concert in Milan. This song was written by Clairo and the aforementioned Rostam. And Danielle Haim, of girl group Haim fame, served as an instrumentalist on the track.The Strokes performed a version of Clairo’s song “Sofia” at Lisbon’s NOS Alive 2022 after the singer-songwriter cancelled her appearance at the festival.Ĭlairo was scheduled to perform at the festival, but had to pull out last minute due to a flight cancellation. In the United States, it performed impressively on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs listings. Moreover, the track has been certified platinum in the States and gold in Australia. ![]() Since Immunity, Clairo has put out another studio album, Sling, which performed better than its predecessor in that it broke the top 20 of the Billboard 200 and also topped Billboard’s Alternative Albums chart.īut as far as singles go, “Sofia” remains her biggest hit to date, as it charted in several countries. However, she was only 20 years of age when this track came out on 26 July 2019. And accordingly it is derived from her debut LP (that wasn’t self-released), Immunity, which is the product of a company known as Fader Label. Who is Clairo?Ĭlairo is a singer who was brought up in a part of Massachusetts known as Carlisle. Her dad, Geoff Cottrill, is prominent enough to have earned his own Wikipedia page, though he isn’t an entertainer but rather a business executive.Ĭlairo is 23 years old as of the writing of this post. He was actually the band’s keyboardist from 2006 to 2016. Some readers may recognize him as a former member of Vampire Weekend. The producer of this track is Rostam (Batmanglij). She’s going to use all means possible to let the apple of her eye know that they can indeed become a lasting couple, if only the addressee is willing to give her a chance. So at the end of the day, it appears that this romantic interest will be one that passes Clairo by. But she is not giving up without a fight. Indeed, there isn’t even any clear indication that she has overtly expressed her romantic feelings to the addressee. But the lyrics read as if most likely she has, even if not necessarily directly. But “Sofia” obviously isn’t a lesbian or, perhaps more to the point, someone who herself feels that same-sex relationships are wrong. Letra, traduo e msica de Sofia de Clairo - Acho que poderamos fazer isso se tentssemos / Se apenas para dizer, voc meu / Sofia sabe que voc e. The addressee is in fact someone the vocalist is feeling in that kinda way. But obviously there isn’t anything actually going on between the two of them since the lyrics center on Clairo “wishing that” this lady were her own. She named the song “Sofia” due to crushes she has on a couple of celebrities who actually have that name, filmmaker Sofia Coppola and actress Sofia Vergara. And even though she may not know these women personally, it can be said that she is addressing them nonetheless, because what the lyrics are based on – for lack of a better description – is a lesbian fantasy.
