Chloe Hawes looks to trade soulless posturing for something grittier and more authentic on stylish new single ‘James Dean’
An artist with a distinctive punky flair to their engrossing, rock-edged style and personality-packed vocal delivery, Chloe Hawes is somebody that feels like a throwback to a time where music had a real sense of soul and authenticity to it, while firmly operating in their own lane and offering something that feels worthwhile and modern in the process.
The artist’s latest single ‘James Dean’ is a great showcase of the uniqueness and charm of the artist’s sound, pushing back against the way that the media romanticises the idea of rebellion and self-destruction and seeking something that feels more real and grounded in reality. There is an honesty and a vulnerability that sears through the artist’s work, whether they are singing about personal experiences or broader concepts, and it makes for a folky, intimate appeal that feels reassuringly earnest and real throughout.
