As the final single from Chloë Chadwick’s upcoming EP ‘Same Old Brand New Me’, Temper Gene is released this Friday 11th August, we may now have proof in the old saying: ‘leave the best till last’.

The magic of this tune really lies in its subtle but ever-building instrumental approach. As Temper Gene opens at a casual pace, Chadwick gently coaxes the first verse to life, wrapping her delicate vocals around the picked acoustic chord patterns. Cathedral-like echoes and distant backing vocals lend the song a haunting and ethereal feel as the momentum continues to gather, breaking into a rock-solid and memorable chorus.

Chadwick’s strong use of dynamics then come to the fore as the track drops to a lull in the final third before the last chorus steams back in to crack the song wide open. Temper Gene is a testament to the sheer width of Chloë’s song crafting capabilities as it showcases her ability to pull away from country and americana into the mainstream world of contemporary rock-pop. She has managed to achieve this in a stylish offering that is sure to draw listeners of all shades and tastes
