Hailing from the Sunshine Coast of Australia, Chloe Tsangaris is a rising indie pop rocker offering a sound that balances intimacy and impact in equal measure. Known for her emotionally charged songwriting and compelling vocals, Chloe has been crafting music that feels profoundly personal yet strikes a chord with anyone who’s dealt with the turbulence of friendship, heartbreak or identity.
Her musical origins took shape somewhat unexpectedly a week before her school’s annual concert when Chloe’s music teachers noticed her vocal talent and encouraged her to perform on stage for the first time. That push revealed her natural gift and sparked the passion that would to a lifelong pursuit of musical dreams, resulting in a catalogue of music that brings together vulnerability, reflection and determination. Taking cues from artists such as Lizzy McAlpine, Fleetwood Mac and Taylor Swift, Chloe has forged a style that blends lyrical candour with memorable melodies with her songs often using imagery of nature as a lens for exploring human relationships.
Making her official artistic entrance in 2022 with the debut single “Missing,” which she followed up with two demos over the next year. This year she returned with new material, unveiling a new direction through the latest chapter in her creative story. Following her song “Who You Are,” Chloe now brings us her latest release with her latest single titled “Elephant in the Room,” the second track lifted from her upcoming debut full-length record.
Initially penned back in May 2021, the track began life as a ballad built around a chorus that remained a constant while the verses went through multiple rewrites and over the course of four years, Chloe reshaped it into an upbeat, guitar-driven jam without losing its emotional context. Recorded beneath Mount Ngungun at Glasshouse Studios, the track sees Chloe step confidently into a pop rock sphere, balancing poignant storytelling with lively rhythm and energising instrumentation capped by her stunning vocal performance.
Thematically, the song confronts personal betrayal; the experience of being led on by a friend who’s hiding another relationship. It captures the swirl of emotions, of shock, tension and guilt that accompany such a revelation, while its title points to the uncomfortable truth that growth only comes when the unspoken is finally addressed. Kicked off by bluesy leads from Golden Guitar winner Brendan Radford, the steady march of drums and pulsing bass forms a slick rock arrangement as Chloe’s voice enters to thread delicate melodies via commanding delivery.
Peppered by intricate lead guitar flourishes throughout, the chorus surges with anthemic energy to serve up a dazzling pop-tinged indie rock outing that’s truly impossible not to love. It’s a spectacular showcase of Chloe Tsangaris’ songwriting talent and performance panache and with her forthcoming debut album on the way, she’s sure to charm fans across Australia and beyond with her captivating musical output.
