Chloe Jones EP

Chloe Jones is a singer songwriter from the Manchester area of the UK and has been on the music scene since the release of her debut EP in 2016, Meet You There about her tales of travelling the USA. Chloe is an Americana, country, folk singer releasing songs that would sit comfortable in all of these genres and more. Voice of a Woman has now added Chloe to the ones to watch always for her talent not only in singing, but in creating lyrics that instantly take you with her where she is going within the song, and this is a talent that Chloe has in abundance. Chloe has been nominated in the British Country Music Festival as female of the year alongside Kezia Gill, Jade Helliwell, Sarah Louise and Emilia Quinn. 

Sundown EP was released on September 30 2022 and is a collection of some of the most beautiful songs I have heard. The title of this EP suggests a stunning view of the sun going down and brings you into what stories and tales Chloe has in store for us. 

Crocodile is the first track on the EP which was inspired by seeing something in a paper, in a wild crocodile and writing a song about the phrase and what it would bring up. This track has sass, feistiness and so much more within it and a classy video to be checked out also with guns and lassoes! This track has an americana and country feel to it and a beautiful use of steel guitar with Chloes vocal lilting over the song. I love the vibes in this track, the whole feel and the story bringing the wild crocodile to a new heights! Production is simple yet so effective to bring this story to life and to bring the sass of the song out. 

Damsel is the next track on the EP and it begins with simple acoustic guitar and Chloes vocal travelling away and missing someone and wanting them to be with you. Chloe has such a talent to bring you with her into the song, it feels like she is there with you singing it just to you. Her vocal brings out the pain of being on your own and the ambient drums, steel guitar, acoustic guitar crescendos throughout the song and it is all simply stunning. This is a stellar example of the talent Chloes has to craft a beautiful song and bring you the listener in at every step.

Giving Up The Ghost is one of the most upbeat in terms of musicality and pace although the subject matter makes you think. 

"who are we, we are drifters travelling by land and by sea, company we are listeners nothing gets in between"

The song takes you in traveling again, this time for something/someone you love who then has to go again and what this leaves the narrator with. This could be one of the best songs on the EP, again demonstrating the song writing ability and talent of this artist, Simply breath-taking.

New Mexico is one of the songs Voice of a Woman has always loved from Chloe for the lyrical visuals it brings up, the steel guitar, Chloes vocal tone on the song telling the story and painting a picture of the beautiful white mountains in New Mexico. Chloe tells someone the story she has been wanting to tell from seeing a picture of these hills in New Mexico and I just travel with her in this song as I do in all of her songs, this one in particular gets me and I just get taken on a journey with her every phrase and chorus. It is so beautifully crafted form instrumentation to her vocal. I just love the feel the minor chords bring to this song, it deserves a special mention for me.

Big Man Says finishes this EP off beautifully, an acoustic feel with Chloe and a guitar. An Ambient piano comes in at times throughout the song though the whole feel of this song is simple yet effective. 

"Big man says it must be true, he says he loves me more than you"

Words sometimes fail me in reviews to try and describe the beauty and talent I am listening to and this is exactly an example of this with Chloes whole EP. Chloe is such a naturally talented songwriter and you do get taken along with her in her stories and with her voice. She is one of the best the UK scene has to offer and officially a Voice of a Woman one to watch. I cannot say enough good things about this artist and talent and I see huge things for her in her future.
