rising singer-songwriter Chloe Stroll released a beautiful rendition of GRAMMY Award-winning singer Billie Eilish’s “My Future.” Stream/download the cover HERE and watch Stroll’s jaw-dropping performance in the official music video HERE.
Originally written by Eilish and producer Finneas, Stroll put her own spin on the track, maintaining a slowed down cadence throughout. The song is one of her favorites, and with the lyrics, she saw an opportunity to bring a different perspective to what the song represented.
The accompanying music video features Stroll belting the lyrics in a stunning black gown for a sonically impressive stripped-down performance, giving her prominent vocals the opportunity to shine.
Chloe Stroll is a songwriting force whose earnest and raw storytelling, sparkling vocals, and melancholia-laced pop captivates listeners and offers us all a place of solace, healing, and ultimately, hope. Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Chloe developed an unwavering passion for music, writing her very first song at the tender age of seven. While she went on to work on other ventures, music remained a constant gravitational force, tugging at Stroll’s heart and mind. Now, Chloe is embracing the singer she has always aspired to be and writing the profound songs that capture her life experiences. “My Future” is one of many soul-stirring tracks she has poured her heart and soul into, embodying a life where music perpetually takes center stage.

King Dream is thrilled to release their new album, Glory Days V, now available on all streaming platforms.
ABOUT THE ALBUM:
What started as a 4 song EP at the beginning of 2020 blossomed into a self produced triple album by the end of last year, spanning a myriad of collaborators, including GRAMMY winning mix engineers Dave Way (Fionna Apple, Macy Gray) and Michael Brauer (John Mayer, Coldplay). While the first installment, which the band toured last year, was chalk full of rock anthems with soaring vocals and sky splitting guitar solos, echoing from sweaty small European clubs to fervorous festival audiences along the West Coast, this album sees the band experimenting with bedroom R&B and psychedelia, as well as Lyon’s maiden voyage behind the faders, mixing much of the record from his home studio Dimed Records. The result launches the band into deftly navigating uncharted waters.
King Dream’s third album “Glory Daze V,” is a magnum opus born out of happenstance and brimming with ambition. It’s a cinematic journey of an album rarely seen these days. It’s about keeping the fire burning, and the desire yearning, while empires and life as we know it crumble around us. It’s about — what it takes to stay, to support instead of seek, and the love and community we can forge when we foster instead of follow.

This collaboration is the first of its kind between Eli Brown and Layton Giordani, two dynamic powerhouses in the techno genre. “When I Push” is an auditory odyssey, commencing with a sultry vocal melody that weaves perfectly into a potent bassline. As the track progresses, it intensifies with rhythmic bass stabs, leading listeners into a captivating musical journey.
Drawing inspiration from OFFAIAH’s electrifying 2018 hit “Push Pull” on Defected, “When I Push” follows Eli Brown’s acclaimed “RIDE OR DIE” with HI-LO and a series of outstanding releases, including the sensation “Be The One,” which boasts an impressive 41 million streams on Spotify. This track further cements Eli Brown’s status as a techno titan.
Having received support from the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson, Guy Garvey,Deb Grant, Tom Robinson, Huw Stephens and Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2) in the past, the second track lifted from her forthcoming album ‘Last Time Forever’(due for release on 3rd May 2024), ‘Wake Me Like’ incorporates subtle grooves, candid vibraphone and honeyed vocals that turn into what feels like a dystopian movie sequence with gnarly synths and epic horns intertwining.
Having learnt classical double bass and playing in orchestras as a child, it was in her teens that Stevie seriously felt music as a calling – when she picked up a bass guitar and was mesmerised by the sounds of Radiohead and Pixies. Hearing Esperanza Spalding’s ‘Chamber Music Society’ made her realise “Oh – that’s actually possible for a bassist!” and the seeds of her solo project began to take root.
Following the release of her debut, Stevie played Fusion Festival in Germany and has supported Nick Mulvey on his ‘New Mythology’ tour and Alabaster Deplume in Bristol. The singer-songwriter has also played as a double bassist, bass guitarist and backing vocalist for the likes of Spindle Ensemble(Top 10 contemporary classical albums of 2021–The Guardian), Nuala Honan, Tezetaand Soma Soma. Members of many of these outfits also appear on Stevie’s own music.
Fresh off the release of their highly anticipated new single “Are We Having Fun Yet?”, Chicago pop punk trio Definitely Maybe is today sharing a brand new music video for the track. Decked out in all pink and black, “Are We Having Fun Yet?” showcases a playful performance. Fans can watch now, here: https://youtu.be/jnmA3C2_mIs.
The band shares: “This video wrestles with the question “is it more fun to actually do the thing or to watch someone else do the thing?” Is it better to let other people do the work while you witness from the comfort of your own couch with your pals and your snacks? The video is both bright and sterile, playful and minimal, fun and aggressive — just like the song.”
Comedic genius Kyle Gordon has shared his newest single “My Life (Is The Worst Life Ever) [feat. Our Wounded Courtship]”, out now via BMG. Produced by Jamie Siegel (Taking Back Sunday, Patrick Stump, Dashboard Confessional), the new track harkens back to the golden days of emo – jet black hair, chipped painted nails, loud guitars, and an even louder hatred for the world. With a new music video that would seem right at home on MTV in the mid-2000’s, “My Life (Is The Worst Life Ever)” is an instant anthem that will appeal to both now-grown Warped Tour kids and casual listeners alike.
