Clean is the second album by Singer-Songwriter Soccer Mommy (however, she has considered this album as her first true album). Shifting from her indie roots, this album leans closer to Alternative Rock.

No relation to the film by Olivier Assayas.

  2. "Cool" (3:16)
  3. "Your Dog" (3:14)
  4. "Flaw" (3:41)
  5. "Blossom (Wasting All My Time)" (3:12)
  6. "Last Girl" (3:35)
  7. "Skin" (4:01)
  8. "Scorpio Rising" (4:42)
  9. "Interlude" (1:38)
  10. "Wildflowers" (3:18)

This album provides examples of:

  • Album Title Drop: Technically, on the track "Still Clean".
  • Alternative Rock
  • Break Up Song: "Blossom (Wasting All My Time)":
    And I knew when I met you
    I'm not the one you wanna be with
    Cause I can't see you blossom in the future that I'm dreamin
  • Face on the Cover
  • I Just Want to Be You: On "Cool":
    I wanna know her like you
    I wanna be that cool
  • Instrumentals: "Interlude" is the only instrumental track on the album.
  • Melismatic Vocals: On the chorus of "Cool".
  • One-Woman Song: "Last Girl".
  • One-Word Title: "Cool", "Flaw" and "Skin".
  • Rearrange the Song: "Last Girl" was previously released on an EP, a year before this album's release.
  • Self-Empowerment Anthem: "Your Dog" can be seen as one since it talks about freeing yourself from an abusive relationship:
    I'm not a prop for you to use
    When you're lonely or confused
    I want a love that lets me breathe
    I've been choking on your leash
  • Western Zodiac: "Scorpio Rising" is about a character who is "victim of changing planets" in a situation of helplessness.
