This Sunday, June 8th, Cloe Wilder returns to Music City for a special headlining show at Row One at Cannery Hall in Nashville. PRESS HERE for tickets to the all-ages show.
“Singing ‘Tallahassee’ takes me back to where I was when I wrote it. It’s so overwhelming in the coolest way,” shares Wilder. “I feel very lucky to do this one with my band; they gave it a new life. The second we get to that bridge together…I’m just reminded of why I love doing this so much. Recording it at Sound Emporium was extra special too. I was quite literally singing at Dolly Parton’s mic stand.”
Life’s A Bitch continues to showcase Cloe’s evolution as a songwriter and storyteller as she dives into the impending end of her teenagerdom with pure honesty and evocative, nostalgia-laden narratives. The universally-understood adulthood transition and her own personal life changes are captured on the EP as Wilder reflects on the past and takes the reins of her future. This is evidenced by the EP’s lead single “Cigarette,” a bit of a rebellious metaphor about a key period of teenage life. The poppy track was featured as a First Play on BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop, who hailed Cloe is “making the most gorgeous indie pop that you cannot help but love,” and has received playlisting love from Ones To Watch, Holler Country, DittyTV, The Indy Review, GRRRL Music, and more. PRESS HERE to watch the official music video for “Cigarette.” Wilder’s honesty as a songwriter comes through in different ways on Life’s A Bitch: the driving, intent “Heavyweight Champion” glitters darkly, pulsing with a vicious resolve, while “Tallahassee,” a song of transition stemming from a falling out Cloe was experiencing as she was moving from Florida to Los Angeles last year, goes gentler with a soft guitar underlying what she left behind.
Cloe Wilder made her musical debut at just 14 years old releasing her first EP, Teenage Lullabies, in 2021. In a few short years, she’s amassed over 10 million total streams and media support from the likes of Ones To Watch, Just Jared, Wonderland, 1883 Magazine, Stitched Sound, and Celeb Secrets earning a reputation for her emotive songwriting and captivating melodies. Her ability to rasp or float over piano and guitar give, alternatively, feelings of groundedness and flight. Whether she’s being deeply introspective about her childhood or romanticizing the plainest conversation into a grand, meaningful moment, she doesn’t like to shy away from serious conversations. Wilder, who cites Lana Del Rey as a core influence, has also gained significant attention for her dynamic stage presence and heartfelt connection with audiences, receiving praise for her ability to weave together vibrant energy with relatable lyrics. Cloe Wilder is making her mark in the evolving landscape of indie/folk/pop music and is a name to watch in 2025.
