CHLOE RODGERS THE ALGEA

‘The Algea’ comes with Chloe Rodgers’ most impressive music video release yet. The single itself came after tunes like ‘A Delphian Lullaby’ and brought along a euphoric, impressively textured sound to her repertoire. Now she has delivered a dreamy video that matches the vibe of the track perfectly. She gives a lot of insightful detail on the creative process: “We filmed the music video on a freezing cold day at Newstead Abbey in Nottingham. I wanted to use a music box in the video to represent being objectified and getting stuck in the same cycles, as that’s largely what the song is about. I wrote the song when I was 18, but didn’t add the verse at the end about claiming my power back until a couple of years later when I felt a bit stronger. We tried to reflect this in the video too with the Chloe in white sort of protecting the other Chloe of the past.” Listen out for more from this newcomer across 2021. -Dan Peeke
