Chloe Ann – ‘Trophy Girlfriend’
With ferociously defiant energy, Chloe Ann embraces her inner rockstar in latest power anthem ‘Trophy Girlfriend’.
From releasing cathartic heartbreak singles ‘Never Call You Mine’ and ‘Put Me Second’, to supporting LA sister duo SkyeChristy at their recent London headline show, Chloe Ann continues to prove exactly why she was named as ‘One to Watch for 2023’ by BBC Introducing.
Centering around superficial and toxic relationships, ‘Trophy Girlfriend’ showcases the brutally honest songwriting that is quickly gaining the Leicester-born artist an audience of loyal fans. Scathing lyricism unapologetically calls out a former partner’s manipulative behaviour, as Chloe recalls the process of realising that a person is no longer who they said they were. Speaking on the inspiration behind the track, she states:
“The track is about the rush of meeting someone new for the first time and it all seeming honky dory and then quickly realising the more you get to know them that they are a completely different person to when you first met. Those relationships where they are very one sided and completely based on attraction nothing more!”
A pop-punk-infused sound only adds to the infectious confidence and self-empowerment emitted by the track. Opening with grungy guitar riffs, ‘Trophy Girlfriend’ immediately establishes its no-holding back approach. The swift introduction of a thumping bassline and heavy drumbeats give the record its rebellious feel, while providing a fitting backdrop to high-powered leading vocals.
From endearing ethereal melodies to soaring belts, Chloe’s diverse vocal prowess is perfectly showcased throughout the dynamic track. The rising star’s raw and soulful voice is guaranteed to captivate the audience, with a sound reminiscent of fellow female powerhouses Dylan and Miley Cyrus.
After already releasing an impressive string of singles, and with an upcoming EP due later this year, Chloe Ann is wasting no time in securing herself as one of the most exciting newcomers in pop-rock.
