A Quick Chat with Caroline & Claude

How would you describe the Caroline & Claude project to a new listener?

A sibling duo who make music with fluid genres and witty lyrics… there’s a song there for everyone! 

You just released a new single ‘Slap’ out into the world - tell us a little bit about it!

Slap was one of those songs that came together in the studio- dare I say- perfectly.  We made it in Auckland with Josh Fountain and the vibes were immaculate ! We saw Lorde play live in her hometown the day before, and were feeling super inspired! It’s about the hard hitting truths that you don’t wanna hear! Ouch!

What were some key creative influences that helped shape this single?

We definitely channeled some fun-summer tunes and boppy artists like Dua Lipa, Doja Cat & Remi wolf…  just some super small indie artists no one really knows! 

What was it like working with Josh Fountain to bring this song to life?

Working with Josh was like working with a citrus fruit… I love citrus fruits. He’s the kindest and coolest person and extremely talented, and we clicked! The flow in the studio was immaculate and rare… we knew we were writing a banger because we all were super giddy! And Slap wasn’t the only song we made with him, so keep an eye out ;)

What's going to be a core memory that you’ll remember when reminiscing on this song down the line? 

Being in the studio with Josh. The decorating and styling were all super homey, it felt good!

What is one thing you’d like listeners to take away from ‘Slap’?

I hope that they just enjoy the song!! It’s super fun and so we hope they have fun while listening to it! 

Do you have any plans to celebrate now that it’s out in the world?

i’m sure my sister will have a nice night out to celebrate while i chill indoors and watch some drag race (i’m up to season seven and the girls are fightingggg!!!!)
