Somebody Who's Not Me
“Somebody Who’s Not Me” is the new single by Swiss-born and raised singer-songwriter Chloé Sautereau. Released on September 14, 2023 it stands as the artist's third promotional single. The song was recorded at Corner Store Studios with CJ Colon and produced by Chloé herself.
“‘Somebody Who’s Not Me’ came to me in a moment of true vulnerability, questioning and introspection. A moment where I felt stuck, unsure where to look, where to go, or if I was capable of what I was after. Of what I am after. So I tried to look within. This song poured out of me, stripped me down in a way that would only let me grow; it’s the song that’s just “me”, in a way that no song I’ve written before has felt. I always strive for honesty in my writing, but this has the kind of honesty that I think I had never dared to have with myself.” -Chloé Sauterreau

Accompanied by a carefully crafted music video, "I Plan To Run Out of Darkness" offers a unique audiovisual experience designed to captivate the senses and evoke deep emotions in the listeners.
Echoes
"Echoes" is an ode to freedom, a call to break free from the monotony and explore new horizons. With its introspective lyrics and catchy melody, the song invites the listener to be carried away by the music and get lost in their thoughts. This invitation is also reflected in the single's artwork, created by Milan Cambier (as with their previous three singles), which maintains a collage style but features bolder colors this time (in line with the group's new logo).
This is the first single released after their debut EP "PERSPECTIVES" in December 2022 and perfectly summarizes the future trajectory of the group while retaining the formula that brought them success: a British-influenced pop sound combining alternative rock and 80s electro elements, with captivating vocal melodies that contrast with the melancholic and contemporary themes addressed in the lyrics.

The young minister makes a shift from live ministration/performance to recording for audiences far and wide with the release of powerful debut: "The Glory of The Son".
Be Kind
"'be kind' Musically speaking, it's heavily inspired by 90s rock and contemporary music that pulls from that era (Alvvays, George Clanton, etc). As far as theme goes, it's our farewell to the people we never got a chance to get closure with. "be kind" is our first track to come out since we dropped our EP Garden in June, and it serves as a bridge into our next musical chapter. We went back to our DIY roots for this one and did everything (recording, producing, mixing, etc) on our own. Hope you enjoy, and if you do, we'd love to work together". -Wotts
