After releasing her first EP at 14 and moving from Tampa to Los Angeles, Cloe Wilder hit the ground running and has continued to create songs that encompass her transition into adulthood and the chaos of growing up. Wilder has a deep appreciation and wonder for life, evident in her evocative, nostalgia-laden narratives. She often channels Old Hollywood glam; her floral and satin dresses skew toward core influence Lana Del Rey. Despite her grander aesthetic choices, Cloe’s dreamy, warm performance is immediate and intimate.

Her Americana-inspired, third EP “Life’s A Bitch” reflects on her past and takes the reins of her future— her honesty as a storyteller shines through in her lyricism. The driving “Heavyweight Champion” glitters darkly, while “Tallahassee” is gentler. On the poppier “Cigarette,” she chuckles at her misguidance. Trying that first cig was something of a metaphor. As a working performer on a different course from her college-bound friends, she wanted a moment of rebellion, too.

Cloe’s ability to rasp or float over piano and guitar give feelings of both groundedness and flight. Whether she’s being introspective about her childhood or romanticizing the plainest conversation, she doesn’t shy away from serious topics — “but I like to sound sweet while I sing about it.” When she titled the EP “Life’s A Bitch”, she was being a little sarcastic, but mostly serious.
