Rostam has premiered a new song called “Hardy” featuring Clairo.
The former Vampire Weekend member previously worked with Clairo as a producer on her 2019 debut album, Immunity.
“‘Hardy’ is a song about looking forward and looking back,” Rostam says in a statement. “Ultimately, I hope it leaves you with some feeling of hope for the future.”
He adds, “I’m so happy Claire could make a guest appearance and sing her own section of the song- I have always loved the way her voice communicates optimism.”
You can watch the “Hardy” video on YouTube.
“Hardy” appears on Rostam’s upcoming album, American Stories , due out Friday. Rostam will launch a U.S. tour on May 27 in San Diego.
