Chloe Styler – “Girlfriend”

Hailing from the Gold Coast, this Australian singer and songwriter was 7 when she started piano lessons, 8 when she added singing lessons and 13 when she taught herself guitar. She grew up surrounded by 70s, 80s and 90s music and found influence in Fleetwood Mac. Now also inspired by the country-pop sound of Kacey Musgraves and Taylor Swift, she debuted with “When Your Light Burns” in 2018.

Paying tribute to the struggles of modern dating, her new single is a genre-spanning blend of various sonic flavors. Starting with a smooth 80s synth and neon guitar plucks, the tempo soon picks up with a lively rhythm. Driven by fresh country guitars, it’s the celestial backing singers and her honeyed, yet sassy vocals that make this feel-good groove sound empowering, genuine and utterly uplifting.
