Diandra Interviews Chlöe’s Clue: Music As A Lover
While, for most artists, music brings out their “authentic self,” for Chlöe’s Clue, music shows her a romantic fantasy. Now, it cannot be said that such “dreamt, love bliss” is fake, but it even surprises her. In her newest album, Carmin y Rudor, she feels, almost, possessed. Like a woman whose undergone 3000 heartbreaks and love stories, when, in fact, she’s had a handful. Yet, each was impactful enough to build her imagination, and create an artistry that shows love, no matter how its ends, always starts with passion. In our interview, she discusses how she ignited that passion in her newest record.
Diandra: How has your 2020 been?
Chlöe: It was really special to be with myself for awhile and be 100% dedicated to myself. It was really hard to learn to be alone. I’m from Valencia, I live in Madrid, and I am always somewhere, at some friend’s house. I really like being all over the place.
Diandra; Did the pandemic reshape how you saw the album?
Chlöe: I really write music according to memories, and my memories are always sparked by passion. They feel vivid because they come to me like caresses in thinking about the people I love. It is a work that goes beyond the pandemic. It never transforms because it is based on what I saw in my relationships.
Diandra: What about you in this record really shines, even to your surprise?
Chlöe: I’m not really a romantic, in real life, but, when I start to sing, I become the most romantic person you will ever hear. I sing with this passion and weightiness as if I have known so many heartbreaks, but, in real life, I’m a very positive person. In music, I dance to love and heartbreak, and this album is a celebration of woes. It is a purge of my sadness in a really light way; as if the healthiest way to get rid of heartache is through song.
Diandra: Is there a song, on the record, that really stands out to you?
Chlöe: Carmin y Rudor was the last song I did on the album. I love it. I love it so much I named the album after it. The song is about any type of love, and it sings to the comfort we get in relationships. It is not that we are happy, but, we are so used to a routine, we don’t take a risk because it could go badly. There is a positivity to this album. I may sing to the bad things that have happened to me but I never sing to them with pain and no hope. Also, I’m in love so … that definitely comes into it.
Diandra: What has being in love taught you?
Chlöe: I think when you are love, it just helps you learn about yourself. Being in love is beautiful and fun. In my music, I can only talk about my relationships, and I try to use my album to find the small things that I can appreciate about them. It is an album of gratitude. When you sing, you really are surprised by what you say and learn about yourself.
Diandra: Who are the most romantic people you know?
Chlöe: My parents! Definitely, my parents! I think it was an act of romance how they raised me. They did it with such love, for not only me, but for each other. They really saw me as born from how they felt about each other, which I think is so romantic. Plus, they bought me my first guitar so … that led to my romance with music.
Diandra: Was there a moment when you knew you had to be a singer?
Chlöe: I think since birth. I was ALWAYS playing music. Always! Always! Always! All the time. There were so many times when my parents couldn’t hear me, or I couldn’t hear them, because I was playing music. It was just in my very essence, which is so strange because nobody in my family plays music or sings.
Diandra: If your guitar actually became a person, how would you describe your love?
Chlöe: I feel it would be an emotionally intelligent lover. He would be spontaneous. I like adventures and I don’t like staying in on place, but I also would see him as my opposite. Yet, I am chill so it is not such a difference in temperament. I am just a person that is passionate, likes to go out, but feels relaxed in all that energy. Someone who feels a lot of hope.
