Chloe Mogg brings color and sound to growth with her debut LP, ‘The Crazy One’. The collection has a diverse array of musical, emotional, stylistic and temporal influences that readily announce the versatility of the artist. You will experience a full spectrum of sentiment as you go through each composition. The album portrays the faces of growth, its inertia, pains, nostalgia, melancholy, momentum, and joy. Flushing rock segments with soul, folk, pop, and blues, each track is a fresh prism of song. Listen Now!
The album opens with the title track. With groovy basslines, smoky vocals, and melodic slights, the blues rock track is immediately reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac. It progresses with gritty riffs and dramatic beat builds. Chloe’s resonant voice is set to deliberate fray and fuzz to perhaps conceptualize the fabric of the theme. And the allure is all polished with power, pouring on us with the edgy rebellion of Janis Joplin.
Tracks like ‘Permission’, ‘Better Off’, ‘Heaven Sent You’, and ‘Spelling Bee’ carry a similar sonic weight. Their vibrant rock backdrops are embedded with glistening orbs of bluesy vocals and hazy sensibilities.
With the track ‘Parrot’, Chloe introduces a softness into the album. The molten folds of folk rock sparkle with gentle blues. Slow evolutions lead us into enclaves of funk grooves, just as the vocal inflections become sharp and lurid with conviction. This metamorphosis perhaps represents the album’s theme sonically. We see it even in the track ‘The Only One’ as it opens with an acoustic dalliance and edges towards rock bloom that tears through with disillusioned fervor.
‘Cut Me Off’ and ‘Understood’ are folk-bred tracks that dance with influences of soul pop and smooth blues. With glinting acoustics, they are incredibly vulnerable and intimate. They especially showcase Chloe’s vocal range as it spreads across the bare instrumental backdrop. Delivered with wrenching emotions, they fall into the theme of growth on their own terms.
All the tracks in the album are crafted to showcase the evolutionary nature of growth. With drastic variations and unexpected curves or climaxes, each track portrays the unbeautiful dimensions of change while juxtaposing them with power, empowerment and strength structures. It’s insightfully envisioned and brilliantly executed!
The album is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
