Messy (but French)
It’s always about how you do it, and nobody channels French allure with such natural ease as Chloé. It’s not only the music but the image, the presence, the whole atmosphere she creates. There is a sense of revisiting the codes of French culture, chic, magnetic, a little untouchable, yet delivered with a freshness that feels very now. Her new single “Messy (but French)” embodies this perfectly. The title itself hints at her playful intent: it is not simply a cover but a reclamation, Chloé stepping into the room with poise and making it her own. Where the original track was stripped back and confessional, she transforms it into something more cinematic, coloured by disco flourishes and a sultry French pop sensibility. What makes it striking is how she manages to wrap vulnerability in glamour without losing the emotional weight. The result is both elegant and restless, an expression of someone who has lived across cultures and now bends them to her vision. Born in Geneva, shaped by Paris and Berlin, and now based in New York, she carries the imprint of each place in her sound, from the intimacy of European cafés to the pulse of late-night city streets. “Messy (but French)” is more than a stylish rendition, it is a statement that positions her as a new voice able to revive and reinvent the mythology of French music for an international audience. With her debut EP on the way, Chloé proves that style and substance can still arrive together and demand attention.
