Toronto-hailing, queer, alt-pop talent Chloe Mayse delves into love in all its forms on debut EP Dear Love… A collection rooted in themes of heartbreak, fractured family dynamics and discovery.
Honest, cathartic and emotive, the EP weaves through teenage loneliness of “High School,” to reflections on tempting second chances on “Come Here With Me,” setting up a sonic world framed by nostalgia and tenderness.
From exploring the all-consuming feel of devotion and emotional dependence in love on vulnerable offering “Mad In Love,” to capturing the anxiety and ambition of chasing purpose on “Horoscopes,” Mayse delivers a collection that feels deeply personal yet intensely resonant.
The core of EP brims with love, but it is breakup anthem “Two Weeks,” with its measured embrace of solitude and encapsulation of self-love that stands out with its impactful message.
Yet another highlight comes in the form of brilliantly relatable and powerful “Dear Dad,” which dives into the quiet cracks in a parental relationship. Rooted in the aching realization that love can’t exist alongside addiction, the track makes it way through grief into acceptance, leaving behind a safe space amidst catchy soundscapes and thoughtful songwriting.
Rooted in the chaos and connection of life, the EP brings us comfort without false hope as her lush indie pop soundscape weaves an imperfectly perfect tale on love.
