New single from Swindon soul diva Chloe Hepburn, under the rebranding CHLÖVER out last week, is worthy of your attention in my honest opinion. For if Oliva Dean is bringing back a retrospective soul sound to the upcoming generation, and Lola Young breathes some English rawness into the melting pot, Chloe is a bridge in-between….
Lullaby is as it sounds, a gentle breeze of piano-based nu-soul with deep reflections of timeless soul. But, if a lullaby is a soothing song to regulate emotions, there’s irony in the subject, an underlying analogy of accepting the consequences of your past actions.
Chloe describes the vocal arrangement of this collaboration with Manon Molyneux and mastered by Shivan Mistry as a “chef’s kiss,” and I’ve a tendency to agree. Radio play dependent, perhaps, but once that subtle hook gets into you, it’s the perfect pop grower.
On the last single, Situations, we reviewed in March last year, I said “Chloe is destined for greater things. It’s a gorgeous single, oozing with potential and only trickling with the necessities to produce something groundbreaking.” With Lullaby I believe we’re there.
