Chloe Sofia’s ‘Pulse’ is a catchy new release from a fresh new name in Canada’s indie pop scene. A song with a steady pace and attractive melodies, a fantastic mix and an interesting concept, ‘Pulse’ is an exciting single that grabbed my attention.
Chloe Sofia is a singer and songwriter based in Milton, Canada. At just 15 years old, Chloe’s voice is already well trained, and her songwriting craft is well above her young age. As witnessed in her debut drop, ‘Pulse’ is a song that draws from a narrative that Sofia had dreamt up for a comic book storyline. Seen through the lens of a robot character looking for human parts, the song delves into themes of personal beauty and self-worth, areas in dire need of attention in our times.
Musically, ‘Pulse’ is a collaboration between Chloe and producer and arranger Roy Hamilton III. The song has a steady pulse with its syncopated and driving rhythm, hearty acoustic guitar strums, and the angular rhythms in Sofia’s vocal line itself. Harmonically, ‘Pulse’ is rather straightforward, which lends itself to a rather sweet and easy listen that allows the focus to go directly to Sofia’s vocals and lyrics, which are sweet, accessible, beautifully delivered with ample drama and character.
Atmospheric and attractive, ‘Pulse’ is a fantastic debut by a young face that has a really promising ahead of her. With her charismatic delivery, smart words, and tightly written parts, Sofia has gained a new fan.
