Lemon drop walls, purple hair, a deep rose eyeshadow, looking straight through the screen.
This was how I was first introduced to Chloe Moriondo , performing her serene cover of “Take Me To Church.” Glazing soft harmonies over hooks, Moriondo was known to most at this point as an angelic singer with a yellow bedroom and cutely designed (often heart-filled) YouTube thumbnails.
Moriondo has arguably had the most natural artistic progression from album to album I’ve ever seen. Starting with her debut, Rabbit Hearted., she brought her bedroom to the studio. Her first foray into original music was bedroom pop, where a lot of recent indie starlets (see: Clairo , beabadoobee ) have found success after YouTube caught wind of their talents. Songs like “Silly Girl'' sound like they could be ripped from one of her cover videos, with her signature harmonies and ukulele creating the intimate sound her online audience loved from her.
