Los Angeles-based disruptor Chloe Star is back with her most volatile offering yet. Arriving via Chloe Star Records, her new single ‘Walking On The Sun’ sees the Persian and Indigenous singer-songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate trade standard pop sensibilities for something altogether darker and more urgent. Having already secured backing from the likes of Rolling Stone, CLASH, and METAL Magazine, Star’s latest track cements her status as one of the most uncompromising voices in the contemporary alternative scene.
On ‘Walking On The Sun’, that cross-pollination reaches a thrilling boiling point. The track meticulously layers trap percussion beneath heavily overdriven guitars, creating an atmosphere that feels simultaneously ethereal and explosive. It is a masterclass in tension and release, building into an anthemic rock hook that demands attention, all anchored by Star’s magnetic, fierce vocal delivery.
Underneath the track’s massive alt-rock production lies a searing, deeply personal critique of systemic corruption.
This song is about the corruption I’ve seen in the treatment and rehab industry, where profit often seems to matter more than genuinely helping people recover. I’ve been through facilities that made me feel like they were more interested in keeping me sick so I would keep coming back. Fortunately, I was later blessed to find an incredible rehab center that truly cared about its clients and wanted them to get better. That experience changed my life, and it was the last rehab center I ever attended.
Raised between her family’s reservation in San Bernardino and the chaotic energy of LA, Star has spent the last three years building a reputation on raw, unfiltered authenticity. Her sonic blueprint draws from a disparate lineage, nodding to the grit of Nirvana, the soulful defiance of Amy Winehouse, and the modern genre-blurring of YUNGBLUD.
