April 2017 marked the release of their first project, Posh, a seven-track album which features ’Sims 2,’ a quarantine anthem released three years ahead of its time. “I’m in my bedroom, playing Sims 2, what about you?”
In 2018, Coco & Clair Clair began to build more buzz and play shows across state lines--blessing their fans with a few more iconic singles along the way: ‘Pretty’, ‘Naomi & Kate,’ & ‘Bugs’.
2019 saw the duo performing in Texas, Los Angeles, New York City, Philadelphia, & Atlanta. At the girls’ headlining LA debut, Bay Area legend Kreayshawn DJ’d their set--foreshadowing a future collaboration. Later that month, the girls joined Clairo to perform their new song ‘Racecar’ together for the first time in front of a sold-out crowd at Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse.
In April, 2020, Coco & Clair Clair followed up ‘Racecar’ with a new EP, Treat Like Gold, which features Kreayshawn and a remix of ‘Pretty’. On ‘TLG’, their title track with Kreayshawn, The Fader wrote, “It’s a stilted, strange song, but, like most of Coco & Clair Clair’s music, that’s what makes it fun.”
Coco & Clair Clair are your new favorite pop girlies, and we have no choice but to stan.

In the nicest silks
With the strongest drinks (pow...pow...pow)
