New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Chloe Charles Official Website) Kicking off the new year with a bang seems like the only appropriate thing to do after closing 2012 with such wild success. Having just returned from her European tour with a dizzying number of interviews and features (incl. Rolling Stone, Elle, Die Zeit),
Chloe Charles is perfectly poised for her home turf celebration of "Break The Balance" at Toronto hub, The Revival (783 College St.) Feb 13th, 8pm.
"Julian Lennon's stepsister sings unique and colourful songwriter-pop songs with an introverted beauty of surprising clarity." - Rolling Stone (Germany)
"Haunting, lush, beautiful… spellbinding guitar work" - Guitar World: 10 Female Guitarists You Should Know
"Charles' fabulous Joni Mitchell-esque voice…sits perfectly over her moody soundscapes of electronic freak folk which recalls Portishead,
Bjork and Feist." - NXNE
A mere two years ago, this young singer-songwriter and self-taught guitarist released her debut EP,
Little Green Bud - a fitting title, too, as it set the tone for a fully blossoming career that's about to go off the scales with Break The Balance. Since
Little Green Bud, music critics and fans alike have been scurrying to put into words what it is that
Chloe does. She's *that* spellbindingly different.
Best of luck with that. The press have likened
Chloe to everyone from Björk to Billie Holiday,
Amy Winehouse to Adele, and
Alicia Keys to Joni Mitchell. While this reflects her unfathomable range, it goes a long way towards describing why this singing sorceress' musical magic defies any and all straitjackets of classification.
Fans, presenters and media around the world have responded warmly to this one-of-a-kind voice, offering
Chloe 300 shows across 8 countries in only 2 years, features in (German versions of) Rolling Stone and Elle, the cover of International Musician magazine, the Harbourfront's Soundclash Award, CBC feature on Here & Now (Song of the Week), an invitation to join the Guild Guitar family, and showcases at SXSW, NXNE, CMW and Folk Alliance.
Toronto audiences will surely fall under her spell at this special CD release celebration!
