I missed most of at a recent festival but Chløë’s set but her voice is one that certainly stops you in your tracks. It consoles, seduces and invigorates and combined with an image that conjures up a glammed up Morticia Adams /Amy Winehouse, theres a definite aura of star quality about Ms. Black. It would be easy to make comparisons to the dark femme fatale shtick that Lana Del Rey has so successfully made her own, and whilst Chløë Black’s songs have that fatalistic sense of doomed grandeur, vocally she blows LDR away. And whilst she has a powerhouse of a voice that fuses, jazz, soul and RnB she uses it wisely. For example there is never any unnecessary showboating, or ill-advised vocal gymnastics, just a beautifully judged performance, mixing subtlety and power. She may have joked between songs about her ‘imaginary backing band’ but her charisma and euphonious voice seemed to fill every inch of the venue.
