Uplifting pop release from sautereau

As a youngster, artist Chloé Sautereau had a flair for all things creative, from storytelling to ice skating, but when she picked up a guitar age 13, all these talents came together, ultimately leading to her first release at 18 under the name ‘Cee’. After moving across the pond from Switzerland to New York, along with a rebranding to sautereau, Chloe has continued her path to success, now studying at The Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.

In an interview with Jeremy Bregman from ‘Indie Top 39’, sautereau cites her musical influences as rather a diverse mix, from James Blunt to Queen, and Patrick Bruel to Pink. One common thread that links them together is how the artist conveys their story through the music, and it is clear that Chloe has adopted this same ability in her uplifting, light-hearted pop music.

In an ode to New York, her first one, and the little things we forget to appreciate, sautereau releases her second single “What If”. The song details the intimate and precious moments, feelings of euphoria, following connecting with a person for the first time. With these thoughts still fresh in her mind, she took to her guitar and penned a chilled acoustic riff as the basis for her song.

The release is easy-going, fun to listen to, allows some escapism to another world, fully enwrapped in the mellow beat and dreamy vocals. She worked with John Arbuckle at Cove City Studios in New York, who helped to mix and master the track and supported sautereau in bringing her vision to life. Currently, sautereau’s debut EP is in the pipeline, along with plans for live shows, so watch this space!
