Claud’s second album, Supermodels, has officially arrived, which is full of intimate cuts and highway bangers.
Along with the release, they also shared a new music video for “A Good Thing” featuring Paul Rudd as a goofy mailman who’s having a rough time (“My ferret, something’s wrong with his eye,” he tells Claud). As a longtime admirer of the actor and his movies — there’s even a song named after him on the new record — the collaboration is a dream realized.

“I met him briefly in passing at a Taylor Swift concert and explained that there was a song on my upcoming album named after him, and he so generously gave me his email asking to hear it,” Claud says of the collaboration. “In the email, I explained that ‘Paul Rudd’ and many other songs on the record are about me trying to imagine myself as a cool and confident person similar to the types of characters he plays, in contrast to the real-life shy and nervous person I often am. Filming this music video really pushed me out of my shell in a lot of ways, as did making this album.”
