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.

Waz-u drops ambient gem ‘Vermillion’ ft. Lilyg

London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
