(Los Angeles, CA – February 2, 2022) – Indie-pop singer CLOE WILDER is back with a new single “WE’RE NOT SPECIAL.” Watch the music video HERE. The slyly psychedelic, atmospheric song is steeped in acoustic guitar and plenty of reverb. Penned by Cloe and co-writer and producer Sam Nicolosi, the lyrics paint a wistful picture of everyday life—specifically the mundanity—as the singer opens with “Oh my love / Heaven waits for no one / We’re not special.”
“I love presenting certain topics that are a bit elusive and mysterious,” says Cloe. “I never have a set message for anybody and leave the interpretation of the lyrics to others.” Heavily influenced by artists like Lana Del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers, along with Sasha Sloan, and Lennon Stella, the 15-year-old singer-songwriter incites emotion and vulnerability, wrapping her stories with subtle angst and haunting melodies.
LISTEN TO “WE’RE NOT SPECIAL” HERE.
“‘We’re Not Special’ is written as if I’m speaking to this person about all of the reasons why we’re exactly like everyone else. There’s nothing we can say or do that will give us a better shot at this. It’s this complicated mess that makes us hurt. Maintaining relationships can feel so useless to me sometimes. Nothing feels special yet I think it’s okay to embrace that—the mundanity of it all.”
