Rediscovering Chloe

I’m on the plane home visiting my family and I feel like I finally have some space to feel and breathe. I released my EP and I’m happy it’s out, although it hasn’t been successful in a monetary sense, it’s been really pertinent to my growth as a human. I hope some of you like the songs, and have enjoyed the visuals this year. This project felt like the end of the “Baker Grace” I’ve been for the past 8 years since I started making music under that name. If I’m being honest it’s been a wild journey of ups and downs trying to navigate the music industry.

It’s both exciting and disheartening that I feel like I’ve never fully shown who I am as an artist. There were so many voices in my head and people around me at such a young age, that I became very protective of the songs I wrote in my bedroom. The music where I was the most vulnerable and the songs that just effortlessly flowed out of me. Don’t get me wrong, I have music that I love on the internet and songs I’ve written that I relate to a lot, but I still feel like I’ve been holding back.

This year I spent a lot of time revisiting my younger self and rediscovering Chloe. I started writing music for myself more, and spent more time in the studio alone learning how to produce so that I can have more control over my sound and how I’m portrayed as an artist. I thought I had to become this other thing, build a persona, wear makeup and do my hair all perfect but fuck that. I can be exactly who I want to be, I can let my soul speak for itself.

Now that I have the confidence to embrace who I am and share my truth. I can’t wait to release songs that represent that next year. Songs that I’ve been holding on to because I wanted to hide behind the less personal ones. The songs I didn’t choose to write but I NEEDED to write. In the meantime I hope you enjoy the EP, especially "More Than Entertainment" (it’s one of my favorites).

Happy Thanksgiving, Grateful for all of you

Keep shining your light!
