Chloe Jessica is a new shining star in the music life of Birmingham. The middle is her first single and combines pop, country, and blues in a new and authentic manner. Chloe Wood is the songwriter and the band consists of four members: Holly Borlase, Adam Gould, and Neva Bevan. The music they play is both professional and rough. The song is a tribute to the early Taylor Swift, specifically the picture to burn period, and describes the chaotic consequences of a deceitful affair. Rather than heartbreak, Chloe writes about the revelation about herself and becoming stronger.
The peculiarity of this release is in the fact that the band played live. They did not use the digital tricks; they were recording each part separately to achieve a natural in-room sound. In their university studios, they added improvised guitar solos and soulful bass lines which make the song have the soul that most modern pop songs do not have. The Middle, in the lyrics, narrates the true story of what happens after a breakup, combined with a will to continue pursuing her dreams. It is a weak and triumphant entry into the world of an artist who is concerned with actual human emotions in music.
Having already booked headline shows at The Rainbow and the O2 Institute in Birmingham in the spring, Chloe Jessica is evidently heading in the direction of the spotlight. This is must-listening to those who love guitar-based pop narrations.
