Lyrically raw, Chloe & The Brainwaves’ latest single explores the human need to be valued for who we are without comparison to others. It is a personal exploration from front-woman Chloe Gardner, but also a universally relatable concept of shared suffering and the human condition. Perhaps even more so in the social media age, where comparisons to others’ lives have become commonplace.

The song is epic in sound and scope, the opening chords and dreamy vocals would not seem out of place opening the latest Bond flick. Later there are smatterings of Irish folk; you can envision the tune in a fantasy-adventure film, or an episode of Peaky Blinders with the moody guitar chords and ethereal atmosphere. Gardener’s melancholy, Jeff Buckley-like vocals are joined by Michael Potts’ melodic guitars, with Lewis Cooke’s intricate bass work and Alex Baker’s powerful drums driving the rhythm.
