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.

2AP – Two Alien Planets Find Beauty in the Noise with “Sweet Harmony”
What if the world isn’t too loud… what if it’s just your head?
Brno-based duo 2AP – Two Alien Planets tackle that familiar feeling in their new single “Sweet Harmony”: a warm, guitar-driven alternative track about finding your way back to the present when your mind refuses to switch off.
It starts with a bright guitar riff and Lenka K.’s airy soprano, sounding almost like a breath of fresh air. Then the song begins to expand. Guitars gather momentum, the rhythm lifts, and Jarek H.’s warm baritone joins the picture.
By the final chorus, it’s no longer one voice trying to quiet the noise. It’s two voices finding their way through it together.
And that’s where “Sweet Harmony” really hits.
The lyrics balance simple, beautiful things — wind, sunshine, rain, a strand of hair in the breeze — against a much less peaceful inner landscape: a “stormy brain,” angry birds and snakes of grief.
There are no wellness clichés here. No promise that everything suddenly becomes fine.
Instead, the song suggests something more realistic: maybe the beauty is already there. We just have to hear it.
Musically, 2AP blend the melodic warmth of alternative pop-rock with a cinematic indie atmosphere. It’s dreamy without drifting away, emotional without becoming gloomy, and driven by the chemistry between Lenka’s soprano and Jarek’s baritone.
Think 90s/2000s alternative warmth meeting contemporary indie songwriting, with enough guitar to keep things moving and enough space to let the lyrics breathe.
The artwork captures the same tension: warm flowers behind a dark fence. Beauty on one side. Something getting in the way on the other.
“Sweet Harmony” doesn’t ask you to tear the fence down.
It just asks you to look through it.
3:42 of dreamy guitars, two voices, and one very restless brain.
