Los Angeles-based artist Chloe Antoinette returns with a sultry track, "one track love," that blends the edge of alternative with the bounce of ska. Originally from Riverside, CA, Chloe has consistently blazed their own trail in the music world with their powerhouse vocals and fearless songwriting. "one track love" is energetic from its initial note. The arrangements juxtapose primal, guitar-based rock with a ska-tinged rhythm, imparting a swagger and an element of unpredictability to the song. It's a strong comparison, but Chloe's delivery makes it work.
Chloe's voice is demanding, dynamic, and textured, resounding with conviction, but cushioned in a dreamlike state by ethereally stacked vocals. It's a sound that's recognizable while still being fresh, channeling the likes of Paramore and Radiohead, and mixing in quirky weirdness à la Remi Wolf, as well as theatricality in the vein of Lady Gaga. "one track love" delves into obsession, passion, and the messy, magnetic pull of infatuation. Chloe opens up their messy difficulties with backbone and honesty, renovating openness into muscle. The ska undertones infuse the track with a playful rhythm, as though the music were reminding you that love, however all-consuming, can still be a dance. It's just the kind of refreshing risk that pays off, and it helps the single stand out in today's crowded alt-rock market.
Drawing from pop/rock antecedents, they colour outside the lines, and discover the sweet spot, the border between emotional weight and pure pleasure. "one track love" is an experience that provokes you to let go, embrace, and, perhaps, activate your body in the process. With each new song, Chloe is proving that they don't want to emulate the greats, but instead bask in their own spotlight. "one track love" is a statement of artistic identity, and aside from showcasing their vocal chops, it highlights Chloe's storytelling skills and their fearless approach to genre. If you are a fan of upbeat, edgy, unapologetically human modern alternative rock, Chloe Antoinette has the music to accompany it.
