Atlantic Records has announced it has signed Grammy-nominated artist Clairo.
Hailed by Atlantic as a “a singular voice among contemporary singer-songwriters”, to date Clairo – real name Claire Cottrill – has released three studio albums: 2019’s Immunity, 2021’s Sling and 2024’s Charm, the latter released through her own label Clairo Records.
Speaking about the deal, Clairo said: “I’m so thrilled to begin this next chapter of my musical journey with Atlantic. From our first meeting, they immediately understood my vision, and it feels good to know I can continue to be as expressive and free with my ideas with a great new partner by my side.”

Elliot Grainge, chairman and CEO of Atlantic Music Group, added: “Clairo represents the rare kind of artist who reshapes the music landscape simply by being true to herself. She’s not just one of the most important songwriters of her era, she's an artist whose work and aesthetic is truly unique. As a leading voice in music today, we are honored that she has chosen the Atlantic family to be part of her next chapter.”
Earlier this month, Warner Music Group announced that its flagship Atlantic Records and Warner Records labels in the UK and US will collaborate more closely across A&R and marketing to give artists from both countries greater global impact.
