According to comsequence.net, Clairo has covered Lana Del Rey’s song “Brooklyn Baby” for Spotify Singles. Originally appearing on Rey’s 2014 Ultraviolence, “Brooklyn Baby” serves as the artist’s love letter to and satirical critique of the Brooklyn-based “hipster” subculture that sprung up following her early 2010s breakthrough. “Yeah, my boyfriend’s pretty cool/ But he’s not as cool as me,” goes one of Lana’s original lines, sung with effortless talent in Clairo’s new dreamy and slightly slower rendition.
The cover may not have the bells and whistles Clairo brought into the arrangements of the ’70s-inspired, Charm but the tune does feature the artist’s signature smooth as honey vocals. Clairo’s Charm arrived in July and the artist will be heading out on a lengthy North American tour this fall in support of the album.
Rey headlined Coachella back in April and recently teamed up with Quavo for the country-rap track “Tough,” which is possibly the first single off her upcoming country album Lasso which does not currently have an official release date.
