Debut single from Chloe Jessica

Coming out of Birmingham in the UK, Chloe Jessica is a band already proving that their heartfelt honesty and sharp songwriting can strike a chord with listeners. Fronted by vocalist and songwriter Chloe, the four-piece act, completed by Holly Borlase, Adam Gould and Neva Bevan are building a sound that feels accessible but thoroughly their own. Their sonic output balances the catchiness of pop, wrapped in arrangements that fold in elements of country, blues, R&B and rock.

The group formed organically, born out of shared passion with all four members meeting while studying music at university, bonding over late-night writing sessions and jam room experimentation. That camaraderie soon blossomed into something more deliberate, forging a creative vision of making music that’s equally relatable and personal.

They’ve been making an impression in Birmingham’s grassroots scene, performing wherever they can and connecting with audiences through their openness and engaging sound, creating something that feels based in real emotion. Now, after months of writing and developing their style, they’re officially made their artistic entrance with their debut single titled “The Middle,” a song that captures both the emotion and the energy of their musical offering.

Produced by Will Hallett, “The Middle” marks Chloe Jessica’s first major statement as a band and it’s a truly striking one; it’s a pop-focused song that’s bright, melodic and carefully crafted but one that carries the melancholic context of aching experience. The track pulls directly from Chloe’s personal life, reflecting on a past relationship scarred by betrayal and misplaced trust. Penned in the aftermath of heartbreak, the song captures the confusion and pain that come when everything you believed in suddenly falls apart.

Chloe cites early Taylor Swift as a key influence and like Swift’s early work, “The Middle” carries the energy of youthful heartbreak mixed with determination. Opened by spacey vocalisation which count in the track, the arrangement jumps with bright instrumental tones and bouncy rhythmic shuffle as Chloe’s smooth vocals enter to spin catchy melodic leads carrying heartfelt lyricism above the intricate twang og guitar.

Surging with crunchy rock energy, the track swells as Chloe’s voice takes flight, resulting in an anthemic sound brimming with memorable hooks and gripping musical energy. It’s a spectacular debut outing packed full of superb songwriting and musicianship flair that firmly plants Chloe Jessica on the map of must watch artists to rise from the UK music scene. Having made an emphatic entrance with a stellar first single, we can’t wait to see what this exciting new band has in store on what’s sure to be their breakout year.
