Toronto-based queer alternative-pop singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Chloe Mayse delivers personable and honest collection Dear Love… Recorded both in Los Angeles and Toronto, the EP captures true life experiences and revelations rooted in her simple yet impactful musical signature led by catchy alt-pop melodies and purposeful songwriting.
Diving into the temptation of second chances on “Come Here With Me,” to exploring the vulnerability of dependence and obsession on “Mad In Love,” the project is one that meditates on the idea of love in all its forms, reflecting tender heartaches of loving someone and the kindness of self-love in equal parts.
Breakup anthem “Two Weeks,” reflects on forcing healing and seeking solitude in a journey towards self-discovery while powerful production “Dear Dad,” is a sonic exercise in setting boundaries, weaving through broken trust and walking away rooted in acceptance. Finally, the reflective notes of “Horoscopes,” captures the relatable anxiety of ambition and finding your purpose.
Encapsulating the intricate chaos of life, the EP moves from first love and complex family dynamics to breakups and mental health issues, unfolding the layers of love with a cathartic touch. Speaking of the project, Mayse says, “I hope the audience listening to this EP album feels a connection to the songs I’ve written. I choose to share my songs with the world because I think people feel comforted when they can relate to others' life experiences.”
Having established her musical prowess at a very young age, Chloe Mayse has carved out a space for herself with her honest and heartfelt artistry led by authenticity.
