Chloey Rose: The Alt-Pop Powerhouse Delivering Soul-Stirring Ballads and Liberating Anthems
Award-winning British alt-pop artist Chloey Rose is on a mission to rescue our torn souls from the chaos of modern life. With her theatrical pop ballads, panoramic vocals, and captivating stage presence, Chloey has cemented herself as one of the rare artists who leave an indelible mark on their audience. Whether performing across the UK or Spain, she commands attention with her unique style of songwriting, inspired by legends like Kate Bush and Taylor Swift, and vocal delivery that draws comparisons to the likes of Adele and Paloma Faith.
Chloey Rose first burst onto the scene in 2017 with her cinematic debut single, “Golden Dreams.” The track, marked by haunting lyrics and striking melodies, offered a ray of light cutting through the darkness, signaling the arrival of a powerful new voice in the alt-pop realm. Her critically acclaimed follow-up, “Hot To Cold,” became a staple on BBC Radio and was prominently featured on BBC Introducing Lincolnshire & Humberside, showcasing Chloey’s evolving artistry and ability to connect deeply with listeners.
Now, Chloey returns with her latest release, “Runaway”, a triumphant anthem that marks a bold departure from her signature alt-pop ballads. Embracing a more upbeat, liberating vibe, the single showcases a new side of Chloey—one that’s fun, quirky, and filled with attitude. “‘Runaway’ feels very different from my usual style,” Chloey admits. “It’s a pop track that screams fun and liberation. As an artist, I’m striving to show more variety and push myself creatively.”
Produced in Sheffield in collaboration with Aron Bicskey, “Runaway” began with improvisation. The two artists experimented with different chord progressions, and the lyrics soon began to flow. “When I sang, ‘What if I’m guilty of everything you’ve been telling me,’ I knew there was something empowering about the song,” Chloey reflects. “It channels strength and attitude, and I hope it resonates with listeners.”
Inspired by personal experiences, particularly the struggle of breaking free from an unhealthy relationship, “Runaway” captures a journey of confusion and empowerment. The verses reflect the internal turmoil of such relationships, while the chorus bursts forth with strength, self-worth, and liberation. “I want ‘Runaway’ to be a healing experience for those who have faced similar challenges,” says Chloey. “I hope it inspires listeners to feel empowered and move forward with confidence.”
Looking ahead, Chloey Rose has her sights set on new musical frontiers. She is currently recording more tracks with local producer and singer-songwriter Harry David, as well as continuing her collaboration with Aron Bicskey. With plans to perform across Europe in 2024 and beyond, Chloey is pushing her sonic boundaries, delivering music that connects on a deeply emotional level.
As Chloey Rose continues to evolve, one thing remains clear: her distinct blend of theatrical pop, soaring vocals, and heartfelt storytelling has solidified her place as a rising force in the music industry. With her latest single, she once again proves her ability to craft songs that entertain, heal, and empower. And as she prepares to take Europe by storm, Chloey’s mission remains the same—to deliver music that touches the soul.
Etherdene’s ‘Forsaker’ is a revelation in both sound and sentiment. The track marks a new chapter in her career, blending the vulnerability of heartbreak with the resilience of moving on, all wrapped in an electrifying package of synth-pop and indie-pop. The result is a song that is both deeply personal and universally relatable, a cathartic journey that encourages listeners to let go and rise above their challenges.
At the heart of ‘Forsaker’ is Etherdene’s exploration of emotional struggle and the painful yet liberating act of letting go. Drawing from her own experiences with the end of a professional partnership, Etherdene’s lyrics are a raw and powerful expression of inner conflict. The line, “Brand new member in the club of quitters, the uniform compliments my eyes,” encapsulates the complex emotions of giving up, flipping the narrative on its head to reveal the strength in choosing to walk away.
‘Forsaker’ is a triumph. Etherdene’s decision to incorporate synth bass arps brings an air of 80s nostalgia while keeping the track fresh and forward-thinking. The electric guitar work from Cory Clark adds a layer of dynamism to the song, complementing its mood perfectly. However, it’s the drums – played by Warren van Wyk – that truly elevate the track, infusing it with energy and warmth that feels almost magical.
What sets ‘Forsaker’ apart is its empowering message. Etherdene isn’t merely recounting a painful experience; she’s showing us the strength that comes from letting go of something that no longer serves you. It’s a message of courage and self-love, encouraging listeners to prioritize their emotional well-being over the fear of walking away from something that seems promising but ultimately isn’t right.
‘Forsaker’ is yet another example of Etherdene’s impressive versatility as an artist. From her early days in the Afrikaans band Kaktus to her current solo career, she has continually pushed the boundaries of what indie-pop can be. With ‘Forsaker’, she’s taken an emotional experience and turned it into a musical triumph that’s as empowering as it is catchy. This track is bound to resonate with anyone who’s ever had to make the difficult decision to walk away – and Etherdene’s ability to capture that moment in song is nothing short of remarkable.
